Post author By admin
Post date March 24, 2022

Amateur Radio Operator numbers worldwide from data 2000 to 2022. This data has been collected from multiple data sources. Some records only go up to 2018, so data to 2022 has been filled in with growth trend data. The last known collection of total hams worldwide was taken by the IARU in 2000. https://web.archive.org/web/20020612083455/http:/www.iaru.org/statsum00.html

– Data on some countries is approx due to lack of current data.

– Data not available for certain countries – total is not indicative of total hams worldwide

QRZ Blocks Russian Ham Radio Callsigns

Post author By admin
Post date March 4, 2022

Whilst the invasion of Ukraine by Russia happens, many governments around the world have sanctioned Russia for their military action against a innocent country and people.

This seems to have now spilled over into the ham radio community with QRZ announcing that they will be banning the search function and viewing of Russian and Belarus callsigns.
