as I say, we could require that you need to learn to knit and crochet
before you are given an "internet license", probably stop quite a
few... (and hell, that is useful, one could knit themselves a nice
pillow to sit on while using the computer!)

This might save the hobby.

That's the way I see it.



I don't think that the hobby is in trouble. Look at the numbers
today.
They are larger than ever. If it were in trouble it would not be
from
lack of membership.

Ham radio is in need of some new blood.




Maybe, but lack of CW won't guarantee that. Anyone can get a Ham
licence now.
