I don't think it is dying, I think it is evolving. There are new modes of operation and new capabilities Such as digital modes. People are amazed that we can send Data over ham radio. we can send and receive E-mail and now there is no requirement to learn Morse code. There are so many modes that people slide into the few that they enjoy from Moon bounce to Rag chewing. and when the Grid is down and the cell phones and internet do not work the Ham Operator will still be live. The internet has changed Ham radio, We have repeaters that link into internet and back out to other repeaters ect. But the old style is alive and well. We are at the solar minimum and that makes things harder but still working (the solar min is the 11 year sun spot cycle ) The 11 year solar cycle make it easier for rare distant contacts.
and what better way to pass time on the road from camp to camp or to set up in remote locations. RV's and ham radio are a great match.
