Yes, the terrain of ham radio is changing, but so does everything else. I still enjoy it after all these years. I was first licensed in 1977 and work primarily HF DXing. I could go on and on, but I feel that ham radio is far from dead. There are a great many new people coming in and the old timers need to loosen up and let them have at it. We have some youths, 10-12 years old, who get on one of our local repeaters, and though they can be real knuckle heads at times, we just let them go. No harm done. Were we not 12 years old at some point in our lives? There is so much about ham radio that I have not gotten into but would like to such as EME, earth-moon-earth. The new digital modes are a lot of fun as well.
