Well, some will be appliance operators, but a few will take an
interest and become the future of ham radio. We need the "head count"
to keep our hobby alive and well. I've seen many new hams that had no
background in electronics get their ticket by memorizing the test. They
then dove into the hobby and became true assets to the hobby. Others
just like to talk, and that's OK too. I guess I'm and optimist.
Oh, I've been doing this ham radio since 1958, so I think I can say the
above with some creditability.
Welcome to all the new hams, no matter how you got your ticket.

Welcome to the new hams that are taught the test and have no idea what
the questions mean.

Ham of the old school.
Had to draw schematics and understand what they were about to get my
license.
