I am not a HAM operator but it will still be around because it is a proven way to communicate that does not use VOIP or GPS.

I wonder how many Hams still use vacuum tube sets. I know it was quite a number back in the 80's. Tubes are less susceptible to EMP.

Well, since hams use satellites also for operating, maybe that will help keep it going...?
