Thanks to Hans to sharing this post. I had been wondering about these numbers for a short while now, but I don’t ever seem to remember to lookup the statistics while I am in front of a computer. Overall the US gained 7,000+ hams in 2013 alone, according to these numbers. I hope we can beat that amount in 2014.
