The recent thread on Tech's in VHF weak signal prompted me to take a look
at our own NLRS roster. I also looked at the distribution of Extra,
Advanced, General, and Technician licenses in Minnesota (home for most NLRS
members). Here's the distribution.
NLRS MN
Extra 55% 18%
Advanced 11% 12%
General 10% 20%
Tech 23% 50%
Based on this nonscientific look, we are weighted three times as high in
Extra's and half as high in Techs and Generals as the ham population at
large. At the same time, almost 1/4 of our members are Techs with many of
these Tech licenses being very active members.
Not sure what this say's, but interesting to look at. One thing that we
have found is that having an active 6m net and asking them to our local
club monthly breakfast is one good way to pull in those who are exploring
VHF for the first time.
