Time will tell. The renewal rules confuse the situation because you
cannot
renew more than 90 days before expiration, but you can let the license
expire and then renew in the 2 year grace period.

The big question is: why such slow growth even after the restructuring
of
2000?

Just an FYI. Any license that is expired but still in the grace period
is
not listed as expired until after the grace period is over.

That depends on how the data is compiled.

The numbers I post here do not include
licenses in the grace period. Neither do
those on the AH0A website.

Jim is 100% accurate on that.
Towards that point, if we add grace
period expirations to the 684K total it would probably
be over 800K hams.
