We're still here, in the 42 years of being ham radio nut I personally trained and got 24 mostly young people through their exams.
Member of the Veron our national most important ham club, but also in a small provincial club, whee lots of young people get trained for exams and keep ham radio alive.
Ham radio is more as what i did then, building your own stuff, there is propagation to study, making your own (simple) antenna's etc.
We have always been a fringe society, if 1 in 1000 people are interested it is already much.
Luckily i see enough young people get into the hobby, or middle aged people re discovering their old hobby.
The demise of ham radio is still a long way off ( I hope) :mrgreen:
