LX, the repeater operators paradise

... or repeater proliferation ...

Do you know Luxembourg, that small country in Europe? Exactly 2586,4 km2 "big" with around 600.000 people living there, with less than 500 being ham operators, at most 50 of them active hams?

Well that Luxembourg seems to have become the repeater operators paradise! As I am writing this (December 2021), there are 23 amateur radio repeaters on VHF and UHF in the country! Let me show you some figures:

year	VHF rep.	UHF rep.	Total rep.	km2 / rep.	OMs / rep.	active OMs / rep.
2012	2	1	3	862	165	16,5
2016	3	9	12	216	42	4.2
2017	4	10	14	185	36	3.6
2018	5	15	20	129	25	2.5
2020	5	17	22	118	23	2.3
2021	5	18	23	112	22	2.2

What's best: more repeaters even seem to be planned. So see you in the near future for new figures!
