[Boatanchors] Silent Keys

[DAve Mayfield]

It is growing, around my QTH a local ham who owns a CB shop is helping 
all his CB buddies get their Tech ticket. At first a few of them were 
using some of the repeaters, now they have moved to simplex and just 
went back to CB. So while the numbers are up on paper, I think the 
actual number of real hams is going down fast.
