Based on previously given statistics:

"over 38,000 Amateurs world wide have the DXCC awards"

It seems like a relatively small percentage of the ham population
collect post cards and redeem them for DXCC awards.

If 38,000 U.S. amateurs had DXCC awards, that would be 5.5% of
the total U.S. ham population, which was 684,637 as of 7/01/2003.

So we can assume that over 95% of U.S. licensed hams don't play
DXCC - which means it is totally acceptable not to collect post cards
and play DXCC and still be a ham.

Looks like lots of hams still measure things with a ruler instead of
with DXCC clicks.....

Lots of hams have never turned on anything more than a 2 meter
handy-talkie and aren't interested in DXing anyway...much less award
chasing. Fine. DXCC is not a requirement for anything.

Now if instead of the 684,637 total hams (that includes Novices, Techs,
etc) you would use the number of DX-interested hams I think you'd find a
very large percentage, probably well over half.
