E1761: Ham Radio Numbers Are NOT Dropping Here's Why

from Ham Radio 2.0 · host Jason Johnston - KC5HWB

Is amateur radio really dying? In this video, I react to the viral "What Happened to Ham Radio?" documentary and break down the real FCC and ARRL license data showing strong growth from the 1970s to over 700,000 US hams today. I address the exaggerations about the "golden age," highlight active communities, Field Day, Parks on the Air, emergency comms, and why the hobby remains thriving. Perfect for new and experienced hams — get on the air and join the fun!👍 Like, Subscribe & hit notifications for more ham radio news, reviews & how-tos from Ham Radio 2.0!Today's video is sponsored by Ham Radio Prep - save 20% off of all of their courses with code JASON20 here - https://geni.us/830iXi5Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/ham-radio-2-0--2042782/support.
