In this review, Electrican and Mechanic magazine listed the 114 charter members of its new Wireless Club, consisting of 111 U.S. plus 3 Canadian members. Also, for some reason, the magazine listed them by their membership numbers -- from #1 in Baltimore, Maryland to #114 in Plymouth, Massachusetts -- instead of their names.

Electrician and Mechanic, September,1908, page 137-138:

THE  WIRELESS  CLUB
    THIS organization has started with a good show of interest, and up to August 1 we have enrolled one hundred and fourteen members. These will constitute the charter members; but as one or two interested operators have written that they supposed the membership list was closed, we hasten to assure them that this is not the case, and because of this misapprehension, we will hold the list of charter members open until October 1. Every one interested in wireless telegraphy is invited to join. There are no dues or fees. You don't have to be a subscriber to ELECTRICIAN  AND  MECHANIC. If you buy it from a newsdealer, or read it in a library, or even borrow it from a friend, it makes no difference; you will be welcomed as a member of the club. Just write us a letter and say you want to join, and we will assign you a number and send you a membership card.
    If you have a station, send us full particulars, and we will assign you a call letter, which will not conflict with any already in use. Give us the height of your aerial from spark-gap to top, size of induction coil, and power used for transmitting.
    We publish herewith a list of the numbers of all members to date, arranged by cities and towns. We shall be glad to put members into communication with other members in places near by, at any time. That is one of the purposes of the club. Later we hope to organize local sections, which can have regular meetings and exchange experiences.
