One of the locals on our weekly 2m FM net G8AKL is now a SK. He was always a booming signal and he will be missed.
As many active radio amateurs get older, it is likely activity will fall. Also, as noticed by another friend at the Telford Rally at the weekend, there seemed to be less money being traded.
Unless others come into the hobby and stay, I am afraid for the future of our hobby.
It will be interesting to see the situation at the next solar peak. There are more modes to explore, but probably far fewer active people.
