Who CHECKS YOUR WORK?

I do, Len.

Same as you check your work. Except that my "work"
is right out there to be checked.

From which website did you obtain this "figures?"

One that's accessible to anyone willing to look for it.

How do you KNOW that all those in the grace period
have NOT renewed?

By definition, a license in the grace period has not been\
renewed. If it were, it would be counted as a current
license.

The source of these figures downloads the FCC database
every day, and compiles the totals of licenses that are
neither expired nor in the grace period. By comparing these
numbers with those at hamdata.com for the same date, the
approximate number of licenses in the grace period may be
computed.

Without CHECKING those "figures" they would not
be ACCURATE. [very UNprofessional!]

They're at least as accurate as any numbers you post here,
Len. Probably much more accurate because there's no
interpretation needed.

WHY is it "informative" that you must continue to do
the "Speroni Stats" maneuver to "lump" the Technician
classes together?

Because FCC has been renewing all Tech Pluses as Technician for
more than 66 months now. An uninformed person (such as you, Len ;-) )
might misinterpret the big growth in the number of
Technicians unless it were pointed out that the shrinkage in
Tech Pluses is even greater.

The number of Tech Pluses and Techs are listed separately, too.

Note that the total number of Techs/Tech pluses has dropped by almost
16000 since May of 2000, and the percentage has dropped too.

Like it or not....

Tsk, tsk, tsk...quite a "track record of mistakes there..."

Where? The umbers are what they say they are.
