[Coco] Curious more than anything - how many ham radio operators are out there?

[John Guin]

N5IBU here wondering how many hams are out there.

And if any are still active.  I barely have time for it myself.  Maybe a little repeater usage and every once in a great while, some PSK contacts on 20 meters.

The best time I had though, was with packet radio.  I had a 2 meter handheld hooked to my TNC modem (which I think I still have) using Mikeyterm on a Color Computer.  As it turned out, that was where I found a fellow offering his Color Computer 3 and a complete run of Rainbow magazines for free if anyone would come by to pick them up.  I did 😊  But that is going on 25+ years ago.

So, CQ anyone?
