2012 Marks All-Time High for Amateur Radio Licenses

摘要

"This past year was a banner year for the number of Amateur Radio operators in the US," said ARRL VEC Manager Maria Somma, AB1FM. "With almost 710,000 hams, it is wonderful to see that Amateur Radio is definitely alive and well, and these licensing totals prove that over and over." In looking at new and upgraded licenses, as well as licensees per FCC call sign region, Somma also crunched the numbers looking for growth within each license class - and all of Amateur Radio - over the last 40 years. "This is an all-time high for Technician, General and Amateur Extra class licensees," she said.
