There are a lot of people that don't see the value of being a skilled

they will run for a license, and bring their bad lazy habits with them.

To clarify, the service won't acually die,

meaning you lied in your title

No...He said "...to clarify..."

...... the number of people will
increase, but those operators are undesirables because they don't feel
it's worthwhile to have to know or learn anything to be a radio amateur.

which means you are likely lying here

No likely to it, Morkie.....

They won't care for good operating practices either and ham radio will
start to sound like 11 meters.

better than the silnce I hear everytime I tune the HF bands

Plug the antenna in, fatso.

I have a small "buddy-pole"-like portable antenna in the back yard
and hear PLENTY of signals...I work 'em, too.

Good hams will leave the polution that will
start to choke the bands and nowhere will you be able to find a technical
discussion. As ham radio transforms into CB style communication it's a
slow and painful process, but eventually, only Lids will be left in ham
radio, and they'll all be happier than pigs in slop.

no what will happen is that people will give you even less reaspect
than you get which is going to be harder than learning code is a for
many people

Acutally, Morkie, I think you'll find that since we all know what
to listen for, that you'll be the one on the short end of that stick.

Steve, K4YZ
