It might have if it was promoted better. The argument of people running to the internet, or the internet being competition is not as strong of an argument (among other arguments). You can't "run" to something if you didn't know it existed in the first place. Let's see, how many people have heard of the internet?? How many have heard of ham radio??? How many of these answeree's are under 25-30?? I know what you're saying Ryan, but there is a huge difference between the Internet and Ham radio: Ham radio does not allow a person to download Porn, do business online, or find cool software. Ham radio would like a person to have a certain technical acumen, while the internet demands clicking on links. Wheras may who are interested in Ham radio find the internet a useful tool and entertaining, the converse is only true in a very few cases. It's really not the same group of people. If the internet were to suddenly dissapear, very few of the people using it would decide to migrate to Ham radio (conjecture, for sure - but do you want to refute that?) Our local group just did a presentation/booth for the boy scouts this past week, and only about 5-10% had a clue that ham radio even existed. Good work, man! - Mike KB3EIA - |
