Title: ARRL Says 2012 Marks All-Time High for Amateur Radio Licenses
Post by: Pete, WA2CWA on January 15, 2013, 02:13:16 PM
From the ARRL web site dated 1/15/13:
snippet: "...The number of radio amateurs in the US reached an all-time high of almost 710,000. “2012 was definitely a banner year for the number of Amateur Radio operators here in the US..."

    December 1971: 285,000
    December 1981: 433,000
    December 1991: 494,000
    December 2001: 683,000
    December 2012: 709,500

For the complete story, details, charts, etc., go here: http://www.arrl.org/news/2012-marks-all-time-high-for-amateur-radio-licenses

I wonder how many went into broadcasting. I wonder how many can use a spell checker, proper grammar, and punctuation. I wonder.....

With the decriminalization and partial legalization of marijuana this makes perfect sense.
