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.<br clear="none">

So we hams are a relative rarity, population wise -
approx. 1 in 500 in the US. We are LEET! ( <a shape="rect" href="https://bit.ly/45DwgyC" class="yiv9956889726moz-txt-link-freetext yiv9956889726moz-txt-link-freetext" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://bit.ly/45DwgyC</a>
