No more pathetic than anywhere/anything else.
Do you vote? How pathetic is that? And you don't even have to pay a fee.
Yet, only just over half the voting age population registered in the 1994
election and only 45% voted.
Belong to any ham radio clubs? How many in the club are actually ACTIVE
members? How many show up for club-related events to do things (meetings,
fun-runs, shack cleaning, tower work, equipment repair, etc.) and/or
volunteer to lead a team or organize an activity? In any club/organization,
there are going to be the movers-shakers (no matter what the quality of
their moving-shaking may be). The rest just sit on their haunches and watch
the goings-on.

Yes, they can. Very much so. They can also be miserably cheap bastards,
too, so any membership dues is anathema to them.
