Actually, Dave, I think the ARRL may be the largest amateur radio
organization in the world, or at least the largest national amateur
radio
organization.

According towww.AH0A.org, JARL membership is now well under
100,000. What other amateur radio organization even comes close
to 100,000 members?

For now yup prolly but there's some cryptic chatter in the Back
Channel about Sweetums' French cousin Foghorn LePutz pulling together
a huge organization of Eurohams which will publish it's annual budget
and won't have "Members only" pages in it's website.

I can see it now: There'll be a massive, multi-cultural EU-Ham
organization, made up of radio amateurs from all EU countries. It will
have an open web site, no annual dues and will give away its
publications. Publications will be produced in all of the languages of
the EU member states.

All of this will be take place after the ten-year discussion period.
