But do you wish to submit a guess?

Guess? No. Logic? Yes.

There will be a lag in new membership, perhaps numbers will begin a slow
growth--perhaps a rapid jump then a slowing off--hard to tell ...

Then, all of a sudden, some magazine, or some group like MENSA will pick
it up, or the college crowd will accept it as "being hip", etc., etc.,
anyway, it will catch on--trendy to be a ham. There will be some new
technology which finally begins to trickle into amateur radio and new
designs in the stagnated equipment; then all of a sudden it will spring
full-blown into "being vogue."

Who knows how, when or where--the important thing is the door now has been
breached. The dead hams fingers have been torn from their death grips on
the hobby. Now, IT CAN HAPPEN!

We all can help, but who can say who will finally be recognized as the
trigger ...

Put a number and time frame to your "logic". If you can't then it's still a
guess just like all of ours. For the pool that I'm doing, the time frame is
fixed at one year from the implementation date.
