Ham Radio on the Increase

There are over 700,314 ham radio licence holders in
the United States, according to the FCC. There has
been an increase of over 40,000 ham radio licences in
the last five years alone. The ARRL refers to this era
as the "golden years"

According to Allen Pitts of the
ARRL, he reckons that the USA has had over 20-25,000
new hams per year.

Great to hear more people are getting involved in this fantastic hobbie.
