If it's anything like my club, a bunch of people come out to help set up
and tear down, and hang out in between, but when offered a seat at the
operating position, say "no thanks". That's why I usually end up
operating 16 hours at a 1A station run by a 300 member club - there's no
one else to operate. Fine with me - I like operating!

But I guess everyone who comes out gets counted.
