How come there's a disagreement between Quitefine's numbers and
those on the www.hamdata.com site?

Feel free to ask "Quitefine" or the folks at www.hamdata.com.

Whoever "Quitefine" may be, he/she/they haven't posted any ARS license
numbers here.

I have, for some time now.

The difference between the license totals I post and those at
"hamdata" is this:

The hamdata numbers are the entire current database, including expired
licenses in the grace period, club licenses, RACES licenses, etc.

The numbers I post are only the currently active licenses held by
individuals. No clubs, no RACES, no expired-but-in-the-grace-period
licenses, etc.

These facts are all explained in the posts and on the website in
question.

Both sets of numbers are "right" as long as you keep in mind what they
include.

Just clarifying the facts.

I could have sworn that you'd explained all of that for Leonard's
benefit at least on a couple of previous occasions.

More than a couple. Mr. Anderson sometimes has trouble with the interpretation
of facts. For example, he still has trouble with the fact that FCC has been
renewing Tech Pluses as Techs for 4-1/2 years....

He also seems to have a lot of trouble with recalling certain past events, like
when Cecil, W6RCA/W5DXP, participated in rrap and on the air.

For the record, in chronological order:

1) Cecil held W6RCA and worked for Intel
2) He retired from Intel and moved back to Texas, in part to care for aging
relatives
3) He participated in the 7037 get-together
4) He and I ran antenna tests on 40 CW, checking his vertical against his
all-band linear-tuner dipole
4) He got his old W5DXP call back

Somewhere in that sequence, he decided that rather than dropping the code test
completely, he was satisfied with 5 wpm. He resigned his NCI membership and
decreased his rrap participation to near-zero.

Mr. Anderson has it all mixed up, as usual. Not my problem, though.

How could he have confused your postings of the license figures with
"Quitefine"?

I don't know. Ask *him*.

btw, thinking of departed rrap folk, it occurred to me that I probably hold the
record for most rrapper's QSO'd. Anybody beat this list?:
