ARRL membership ended the year on a strong note with the total exceeding 160,000 for the first time since March 2002! A banner in the HQ lobby (see attached courtesy of Bob Inderbitzen, NQ1R) tells the tale.

Every division except Great Lakes saw an increase in membership during the year. International membership grew the most percentage-wise. The leading division in growth this year was Pacific – see http://www.arrl.org/membership-stats for the division and section breakdowns.
