This doesn't sound like anything that is dying.

The only people who try to propagate the myth that the Amateur Service
is dying are those who have a financial interest (national societies
through membership numbers and equipment manufacturers/retailers). Don't
listen to them. Instead, turn on your radio and listen to that
instead.... you will find it is busier than ever!


That's one good reason, but don't forget those Hams who are tired and
bitter and just want to complain.

Especially the ones who can't put up a decent antenna, and think the
lack of signals means that no one is on the air! ;^)
