Well as, a full A class here in the UK ,I can tell it's going strong, had mine since 1998,I still use morse code , when I feel the need, data , moon bounce HF , the full hog, ,it's a life time licence now, every 5 Years you have to let them know your still doing it and away you go for another 5 years all free, online. I believe it's easier now thank goodness for those taking it up, I don't think they do the 12wpm morse test any more, but I'll stand to be corrected on that.
Anyway I love the hobby, and speak to people all over the world daily.
