One possible explanation is that the real problem
is publicity and image, not license requirements.
If people don't know what ham radio is, the license
requirements have no effect on them.
Ham radio just isn't very appealing to the current generation. There are
too many other things to compete, computers, the Internet, vidoe games.
Kids had rather be skilled at playing the latest video game than have
technical skills in some outdated (to them) mode of communication. They
had much rather build a computer than a radio. Who needs a ham radio
station to talk to someone in another state or even in another country,
just whip out the cell phone. Almost every teenager now has one.
Probably be a good idea to get rid of the idea that ham radio is just
about talking to people in different countries.
