There was a typo in this weeks report: The correct number is 735,000 not 
135,000.


Sumner said QUOTE "amateur radio is not dying. It is on a growth track." 
ENDQUOTE He said there are more than 735,000 licensees as of December 
31, 2015 - and increase of 1.3 percent in one year, even as licensing 
figures in many other parts of the world have trended mostly downward. 
He also noted a steady stream of license upgrades.

Sorry folks
