How do you know?
People
just don't want to learn the code.
Some people don't.
Some people don't want to learn
the theory, either.
Most who are really interested
will learn at least what is needed
to pass the tests.
Either
that or people just don't want to become hams.
Most people are not interested in
radio as a hobby. That has
always been true.
We have an insider who might be able to shed
some light on those issues.
To who do you refer?
We recall that in the past, the
Morse Code tests were blamed
by some for low growth in the
number of US radio amateurs.
Both the Morse Code and
theory tests have been
repeatedly reduced, but there
has not been sustained increases
in growth.
We think N8UZE is correct: People
cannot be interested in something they
do not know about.
