27. Mr. Sumner presented the results of a market study conducted for the 
ARRL in September 2003 by Readex, Inc. A mail survey of a sample of all US 
radio amateurs yielded 1,530 usable responses, a 53% response rate from the 
reachable population. Compared to the results of a similar survey conducted 
in 1992, the new survey showed increasing age and declining activity in the 
amateur population, with inactive respondents most often citing competition 
for time and the use of other communications media as reasons for their 
inactivity. More frequently than long-time licensees, newer licensees cited 
emergency communications and personal safety as reasons for obtaining their 
license. ARRL members were far more likely to be active than non-members. 
Respondents identified the protection of Amateur Radio and defense of 
frequencies as the most valuable ARRL service. The Board was in recess from 
11:17 AM until 11:27 AM, at which point Mr. Harrison assumed the Chair.
