You are alone here.

99% of people can't chew gum and walk at once. Majority of people born after 1995 have no idea what AM radio is and what an "old fashioned" antenna is. It is called streaming and for the old people in their life (very common term) they use TV's and cable or satellite, the old peoples technology.

From a ham radio aspect, people no longer experiment, they want plug and play. No longer innovators and testers, now appliance users. Majority young hams (minimal numbers at that) play digital mode and never talk. The same applies here. People commonly say, why should I use a radio when I have a cell phone? It is a failed statement, but it is the majority consensus.

Just stating the fact! I have an OTA antenna set up for those times when cable/sat/IP goes down or the worst case scenario. It just does not happen with the masses anymore. Instant now, no effort, give it to me, 5 seconds ago.
