As of November 1, 2006:

Novice - 24,154 (3.7%) [decrease of 25,175]
Technician - 287,444 (43.7%) [increase of 82,050]
Technician Plus - 34,786 (5.3%) [decrease of 94,074]
General - 131,994 (20.1%) [increase of 19,317]
Advanced - 70,607 (10.7%) [decrease of 29,175]
Extra - 108,563 (16.5%) [increase of 29,813]

The point being that the Coded Amateurs are REALLY almost 60% of
the Amateur population when one figures in the Tech Plus folks who have
already been assimilated into the vanilla Technician.

Those are numbers that political appointees are impressed by.

Perhaps it's that simple math that prevents the FCC from
broadstroking the code test out of existence...?!?!
