It's getting more and more popular within amateur radio. If I look on the Parks On The Air spots page, there are currently 20 people in a park across the US doing Morse, and I know that when I go to a park I can knock out 60 Morse contacts in about an hour on one band since there are so many hunters.

Clubs like Long Island CW have thousands of members and run classes all day to teach people Morse and help with their operating skills. Just this morning I joined the weekly CWOps mini contest which is so popular they have it in 4 x 1 hour sessions. And that's on top of the 3 medium speed sessions on Mondays, and 2 slow speed ones.

There might not be as much ragchew activity but between contests, DXers, and POTA, there's CW activity all over the bands.
