all-time high was of 743,003 reached November 2016. Breakdown goes like this:
143,337 Amateur Extra licensees 45, 071 Advanced licensees

licensees. US population is currently 325,508,188, so the 742,787 licensed US
Radio Amateurs comprise .228% of the US population. BVARC, at 200 members,
makes up about .027 percent of the Ham Population. ARRL members, 170,000,
are about 22.8 percent of the licensed hams. Put that in your TTFD
terminating resistor and smoke it. W5RH
