I'll bet this will get a lot more people involved.
Bet it doesn't increase it by much.... I know a lot of people say, "I've got the internet, what the hell do I want to talk on a radio for when I can send email?"

Even Sean made some kind of disparaging remarks about ham radio before, in the survival section when I was trying to get people involved. So, I quit bothering. If someone as smart as Sean thinks that it costs "thousands of dollars" to get involved, then the Service is doomed to that sort of thinking.
