... all time high!

You attempt the argument that amateur radio has always been a ridiculous
cost for nothing--well, perhaps you are correct... time to increase our
numbers to a meaningful number...

This statement makes no sense whatever.

I have asked the young men why they have no interest in getting a ham
license, it is because of the limitations placed on the no code
license--and the fact they are not interested in learning code to chat
with someone DX--a task which can be accomplished much easier and
reliably over the net with instant messaging, IRC chat, etc... that is
REAL. THAT is dropping the numbers of hams and putting bands in danger
of being lost... that is holding our numbers at such low levels the FCC
begins to find us more a bother than anything else...


This does NOT make sense when our numbers are near their all time high.
