FCC says we have 746,000+ licensed amateur radio operators now. The most we've had in the history of the United States. I never hear them though.I would presume under the circumstances as long as they arent run by an org that needs to pay FT staff year round they will be back eventually. Though this might be a good excuse to throw in the towel since ham radio is not as popular as it once was. You know, die before all of their attendees do since the majority seem to be older.
