Art's math needs some revision. There are about 600,000 hams in the US. The US population is 300,000,000. Thus, 0.2% of the US population are hams, not 0.02%.
Interestingly enough, this error is roughly the same as the ratio of the height of an LEO to the height of an HEO.:^)= - Duffey -- KK6MC James Duffey Cedar Crest NM
