this was inevitable. the hobby ages twice as fast
as new hams get licensed.even faster in some
areas. It stands to reason that sooner of later
activity on the bands will reach a point where

cellfones, data, or some other big money

spend $5 to save the hobby they claim to
love.They will spend hours and hours talking to
other hams who also wouldn't spend $5 to continue
it.
As the older population dies off there is no one
to take their place hence silence. It other words
the "Silence of the HAMS"...taint funny mcgee....
