They are dependent upon hams that pay membership dues. 

The problem is as I said before, the 80 (no 75 at all) and 40 meter bands
are much smaller outside of the America's. The voice portion of the US
bands is impossible to hear because it is used by high power broadcasters.

This limits the ability of hams outside of the America's to have a reasonable
conversation and now that long distance is cheap and there are internet phones,
what's left are the most dedicated. Phone patches are gone.

The solution is ...........
