With the way things are going, Morse code will likely make a comeback soon.
I know my country's military never stopped. It's still the best way to get info a long distance with low power.
And of course on the amateur radio bands it's also still alive and well.
If you built some sort of contraption that converted the audio signals to binary you would be able to send pornography
The search term you want to look for is "SSTV".
There are a number of other digital modes that allow transmission of characters (RTTY) or any digital data (AFSK, "Packet Radio").
ASCII art porn through RTTY!
Just encode your porn with the character set available to Morse code, and you can send porn via Morse.
Or send lewd imagery as ASCII-art, which is a practice that originated with teletype operators and was widely used for testing their equipment in a fun way.
===D
So we're sending Dick pics over TTY now? Two can play that game.
