[bars] Hams as % of population

[Tim KC1RET]

I was ruminating the other day about the relative percentage of hams in 
various countries.  I seem to work A LOT of Italians, Spaniards and 
Germans.  So a quick Google search led me to Wikipedia.  It has a 
listing of hams by country ( https://bit.ly/3sI2aeR ).

The Top Ten by % of Population
10: United Kingdom: 	0.114
9: New Zealand: 	0.120
8: Norway: (seriously?)
	0.125
7: Spain:
	0.127
6: Thailand:
	0.147
5: Denmark
	0.152
4: Canada:
	0.187
3: US:
	0.233
2: Japan:
	0.304
1: Slovenia:
	0.317


Germany was 15 at 0.073% and Italy 21 at 0.049%.

Slovenia was a bit of a surprise but it is a small country so a 
relatively small population of hams (6,500 as of 2000) can tip the scale 
pretty easily.  Same with Norway with 6,818 hams as of 2022.  US had 
almost 780,000 as of 2021.

So we hams are a relative rarity, population wise - approx. 1 in 500 in 
the US.  We are LEET! ( https://bit.ly/45DwgyC )
