Just wanted to post this piece regarding how heartened I was to see so many old Amateurs returning to the hobby. In the past 3 weeks I guess I must have seen at least two or three per week (two today Weds 23rd) coming back to the hooby having posted on the Amateur Radio FB page.
Don’t let anyone tell you that Amateur Radio is dying. Its definately not and I have a feeling that this may be the start of a resurgance of interest. Goes hand in hand with Andrews post on the Introduction to Amateur Radio.
Way to go!

Our interest in all things amateur radio may go through peaks and troughs but it seldom dies. Personally, once I started in radio professionally all interest in amateur radio died. Or at least that’s what I thought 😉 After an absence of about 10yrs and a career change I came back and I’m now just as active as I ever was and still thoroughly enjoying the hobby.
So to all returning radio amateurs I have this message: Welcome back, technology may have moved on but, essentially, its just the same!
