There was a typo in this weeks report: The correct number is 735,000 not    
   135,000.   
      
      
   Sumner said QUOTE "amateur radio is not dying. It is on a growth track."    
   ENDQUOTE He said there are more than 735,000 licensees as of December    
   31, 2015 - and increase of 1.3 percent in one year, even as licensing    
   figures in many other parts of the world have trended mostly downward.    
   He also noted a steady stream of license upgrades.   
      
   Sorry folks
