My town (Pahrump, NV) has about 35,000 population and 284 hams, for a ratio of 1 ham per 123 residents. Does any other town or city have a higher density? Some years ago, I realized that a lot of the people I ran across in my brief visit to Fairbanks were hams. If someone here has an easy way to get the number of licensees up there, we can compare it to the Census Bureau's 2003 estimate of 31,000 people. According to the license database at http://www.wm7d.net/fcc_uls/ there are 558 licenses with Fairbanks addresses, including 3 clubs. That leaves 555 individual hams. Dividing 555 into 31,000 computes to 1 ham per 56 residents. 73 de Dick, AC7EL |
