If code testing had been abolished significantly before that it would have boosted our numbers far more than it ever can now. All I'm really saying is that that opportunity is lost. I find it hard to take anyone seriously who uses the term "paradigm shift", especially if he proceeds to jump to a false conclusion or to several of them. Sure. there is a lot of CW use by hams on HF, but there are precious few prospective hams who want to use it. How do you know they don't want to use it? At the past several Field Days, the CW ops generated the most interest. As a sideshow it generates interest. Think of it as being like a demonstration of some obscure craft in a living museum. Sure, people find it interesting watching a blacksmith shoe a horse (and that's not a dead art either), but it doesn't mean they are going to learn to do it. But you haven't addressed the question posed: How do you know what prospective hams want to do? Dave K8MN |
