Ben - Thanks for that insight. I shouldn't have taken an absolutist tone over the "techies are the future of Amateur Radio". You're completely correct that there will continue to be "trickles" into Amateur Radio via the route and motivation you mention. The thrust of "techies..." was "new Amateur Radio Operators at scale". I handled that with a footnote on the web version.
