Domenico,
I'm pretty sure members have been assigned numbers sequentially since the early days. The membership number is can be thought of more as a seniority number, the lower the number, the longer you've been a member. So the highest number is the number of people who have at sometime held a membership. The actual number is diluted by SK's and folks who for whatever reason, let their membership lapse.

Since joining AMSAT about three months ago, I've only received my initial copy of the AMSAT Journal (March/April 2013). Can anyone tell me
if a later issue has shipped yet, or when I could expect to receive the next one? Hungry for everything I can read on the topic. Did receive my ordered copy of the Proceedings from the 30th Annual AMSAT-NA Space Symposium, and the 2013 edition of "Getting Started with Amateur Satellites". Great stuff.
Thanks as always.
