One thing not being mentioned is that the "draw" of HAM radio came  
about at a time when people were still fairly remote from one another,  
and radio and other related technology was still primitive.

The world is much better connected now and "smaller", and there are  
far easier ways to do the same thing, so much of the draw really is  
gone now.
