I don't think ham radio is well with all the easy licenses, sales are down 
at Dayton and ham stores, the ARRL has seen a big decline in membership. Are 
these new op's joining the league ??
Ham radio to me is personal satisfaction, I get a big rush working dx / 
pileups on cw there is nothing like it. fm, repeaters, rtty, psk, wsjt, 
ragchewing do nothing for me.
