BPL Powers On
"Brian Hill" wrote in message ... "Bob Monaghan" wrote in message ... Hmmm? Something like 675 thousand amateur radio licensees in USA alone, and growing, though slowly, per ARRL stats and statements. A recent survey suggested circa $500/yr spent on the hobby per amateur, IIRC, which suggests about $325 to $375+ million annually in USA alone, or more than $1 million per day in sales. Shortwave listening is also up significantly in the USA, and it feeds into future amateur radio growth potentials. A good thing too, as our engineering schools are hurting for lack of qualified and interested applicants... Doesn't sound like toothpick collecting or jousting to me ;-) regards bobm -- Yes Amature radio it is a big thing not to mention the subcultures of the hobby like boatanchors, homebrew, experimental etc... The list is endless what radio enthusiests are doing and it stimulates other electronic hobby intrest and reserch in people. B.H. era |
