Welcome to
Welcome to Ham Census
Welcome to an amateur radio survey that seeks to answer these questions:
"What do amateur radio operators worldwide, think of their passion? What do we wish for? What are we frustrated about? How many of us are active, versus those that are taking a break? Do we have favorite radios, antennas, or even favorite cw paddles? Do we prefer one contest over another?"
The best way to find out is if we all participate in Ham Census. Join in and let all amateur radio operators know your thoughts – share your views – then you can find out what everyone else is thinking, in real time.
Help shape the future of ham radio.™
And then
spread the word!
Ask your club members,
your QSO contacts,
and your online connections
whether they have
participated
in the Census!

A shout out to a fellow amateur radio survey. Though in no way affiliated, we encourage you to also check out N8RMA's State of the Hobby. The process is slightly different than ours and definitely worth checking out and participating in.
We will actually give you three.
The first is the right reason, the useful reason.
The best decisions are informed decisions and there are many dedicated women and men making decisions about amateur radio daily; do we want their decisions to be well-informed? Federal regulators, national associations, manufacturers, retailers, our clubs, bloggers, and every single one of us, are continuously making decisions.
All these decisions impact the practice of amateur radio. Shouldn't these decisions be made based on what we actually think?
Ham Census is the direct, open-access way of communicating our ideas to those who most influence amateur radio in each of our own countries, and worldwide.
Second is the fun part of it.
It's just fun to see what everyone else is thinking. When you start looking at the results, every third graph you'll be saying, "I did not expect that!" and then on the next one you'll say, "I knew that!" and finally, other times you'll be a maverick and simply disagree with the trend.
And last is to prove a point.
Amateur radio operators are the first to share, to get involved, to volunteer. We don’t do it for a reward, we do it because it’s the right thing to do. We hope that you will agree and share your thoughts, using Ham Census to help shape the future of ham radio. Let’s prove the point that amateur radio operators are in it for the joy and passion of the challenge.
PS. It's free to take and all the results are free too!
