The fastest countries to abolish Morse
will conquer the HF bands. New hams on HF will need transceivers, antennas,
etc ... so the economy of these countries will grow with new ham shops.
Perharps a new generation of low cost
HF transceivers (CB like) will appear
on the market considering that the mass of customers will be important and that an IC-7800 is not required to make a good QSO.
$300 is a good price to introduce a
25W SSB monoband (40m for example).
Im sure that CB manufacturers will
sell soon low cost ham equipments for
HF bands and not only for 10m like
today, because companies like ICOM has
lost their spirit of simple transceivers
like the IC-202.
Think, an IC-202 like for 40m sold $300.
At least 1.000.000 are sold on the first
week.

You're suffering visions of grandeur. A million decent new 40M antennas?

Never happen, none of it.
