Are all the HAMs dead?

No, but it's a dying breed. Everyone is so used to wifi "just working" that there's little interest in learning basic radio.

Plus, encrypted data on ham radio is SUPER illegal (and the other hams salivate at the project of tracking down where the illegal broadcast is coming from) so the people with those radio skills don't necessarily know how to make it useful in a wartime scenario.
