You have no idea of the views held by those radio amateurs who are or
are not members of the ARRL, Leonard. You aren't a player from within
or without.


And there are simply a lot of people who are not joiners. What percent of
the seniors belong to AARP? What percent of gun owners belong to the NRA.
With 1/4 or so of the licensed amateurs belonging to ARRL, it would not be
surprising to if the ARRL were to rank quite high on the list of target
group people actually belonging to the organization.

Sounds like you have your work cut out for yourself. Do you think you
can gather the data, verify it, analyse it, and report your
conclusions in a week? two weeks? Go ahead and take as long as you
like.

Think on that, Klunk.

I've thought about it. One quarter of U.S. radio amateurs ARE members.
You are not in either camp.

It would be interesting to compare the ARRL membership percentage to groups
like AARP and NRA.

I think the average age of the NRA members would be much lower than
the two retirement organizations. ;^)

But I thought that this was an Amateur Radio discussion. ;^0
