Hello, Dee and the group,

at the ITU, each country has only ONE vote, see the post about albania and
san marino etc.

And about the strength of the national radio clubs like your ARRL, or the
RAC, DARC: ARRL is holding abt 25% of the hams, in Europe the average member
number of the club is over 60% of all hams in this country. But I agree,
lobbying the government is a game they know how to play in the US.
