[Henry Mei'l's]

Well Hans,  I got my first license around 1956 - KN2UOC, then K2UOC, Extra - so I've been around  a while and have experienced the changes.
Also was a USNR Radioman 2nd and still hold 2nd Telegraph and the then-time 1st Radio Telephone 
plus USCG Merchant Marine Radio Officer's Certificate - coast station radio op, very active on CW and phone MARS nets in the 50's and 60's, 
Have had my Danish A-ticket since 1970, etc-

So ah sho aint no beginner </;0)<

  I think everything you describe is an inevitable transition. 

  Amateur radio is bound to become more and more "amateur".  Not a bad thing, just a fact.

  Historically Amateur radio included in it's midst a significant portion of Professional radiomen from the military, press, and merchant radio services, and thus those "professional" morse skills and habits were continuously refreshed in the Amateur service.

  Welcome to Amateur radio.  50 years I've been at it, and still as much fun as ever, just in new and different ways.
