What I would like to figure out is when the last remaining ham who was NEVER on 11 meters finally becomes a silent key.
58 years ago there was near-universal resentment by hams that "their" 11-meter band that they never used had been turned over to CB channels.
Decade by decade, more active hams started out on CB or frequently on the 'HF' channels above 23 and later on, channel 40.
As the old guard fades away, a higher percentage of hams either started out or used CB at one or more times in their lives.
So, when will the last "non-CB ever" ham finally breathe his last breath?
Would be a milestone to note, if you could figure out how to tell.
