Default Is the code requirement really keeping good people out of ham radio?

It certainly didn't keep me out, and I wasn't all that crazy about
learning it, either.


More to the point, are there more licensed amateurs since the code
requirement was removed years ago?



No, numbers are decreasing because ham radio has been dumbed down so
having a ham license isn't worth anything anymore and people are leaving.
