How are the numbers for field day doing? Steady decline? Holding it's own?
When I saw RTTY, I thought I had found my niche. Then it went to Packet, and soon after the Internet was here. I like some of the pictures on the internet. Hard for Ham radio to compete with that. It can't compete at any level, only if communications fail, and that hasn't happened.
Besides, I can't help but think, if something bad does happen, communications isn't going to make any difference. Especially if it's wide spread. But at least, you might gain some information.
