I will be 86. I hope to still be doing contests during DXpeditions. Listen
for me in YN2 next year during ARRL International CW.
I still like knobs. That is one reason I use the Yaesu FTDX9000D. LOTS of
knobs!

My take on 10 years from now:
A lot of the old guard will sadly be SK, with not a lot of replacement from
younger generation, unless we do something.
Top 3 US for the majors will almost exclusively be remote operation.
The only problem is who will be driving.
Assisted and non-assisted will be combined for some majors. Sad to see it
go, but I am getting used to the idea.
CW contest entries will remain stable while SSB and digital may see a modest
boost.
Digital (HF) contests will include weak signal (WSJT) modes.
VHF contests will be nearly all weak signal (WSJT) modes on 6 meters.
It's pretty much that way now.
HOAs - the South and Southwest US will continue to have tons of HOA issues.
As the US East Coast slows in population growth and new housing starts,
that's where there will be fewer restrictions. But that comes with two
caveats - winter and cost of living, unless you do remote operation.
Hams will still like knobbed radios although the market for SDRs is growing.
