Default Amateur Radios Death is Eminent!

Therefore, you don't believe Amateur Radios death is eminent. Well, all
of The individuals I encouraged to join Amateur Radio all but one is
still active in the hobby.

One young man I encouraged to join Amateur Radio became an extra class
in his first setting. A very Intelligent young man but when he met the
other hams on HF and heard how badly they behaved, he soon quit and
found another hobby. Plus, became very up-set with me for encouraging
him to join Amateur Radio and this person now works for a local radio
station as their station engineer.

Riley Hollingsworth, K4ZDH, the FCC's Chief Enforcer retired from the
FCC and once again the HF bands are overran with immature people acting
the fool. This just goes to show if we need a full-time babysitter for
Amateur Radio because our hobby is overran with toddlers then Amateur
Radio death is eminent.

Therefore, in my personal opinion Amateur Radios death is eminent not
due to Code, or Testing, or the Internet, it's due totally to the
immature people like themselves that's killing off our hobby.
