ARS License Numbers
wrote in
ups.com:
These are the numbers of current, unexpired
amateur radio licenses held by individuals
on the stated dates, and the percentage of
the total number of active licenses that
class contains:
As of May 14, 2000:
Novice - 49,329 (7.3%)
Technician - 205,394 (30.4%)
Technician Plus - 128,860 (19.1%)
General - 112,677 (16.7%)
Advanced - 99,782 (14.8%)
Extra - 78,750 (11.7%)
Total Tech/TechPlus - 334,254 (49.5%)
Total General/Advanced/Extra - 291,209 (43.2%)
Total all classes - 674,792
As of July 1, 2006:
Novice - 24,877 (3.8%) [decrease of 24,452]
Technician - 282,448 (42.9%) [increase of 77,054]
Technician Plus - 37,801 (5.7%) [decrease of 91,059]
General - 132,757 (20.2%) [increase of 20,080]
Advanced - 71,749 (10.9%) [decrease of 28,033]
Extra - 108,185 (16.4%) [increase of 29,435]
Total Tech/TechPlus - 320,049 (48.7%) [decrease of 14,205]
Total General/Advanced/Extra - 312,691 (47.5%) [increase of 21,482]
Total all classes - 657,817 (decrease of 16,975)
Note that these totals do not include licenses
that have expired but are in the grace period.
They also do not include club, military, RACES
or other station-only licenses.
Note also that effective April 15, 2000, new
Novice, Technician Plus and Advanced licenses
are no longer issued.
Since April 15, 2000, FCC has renewed all existing
Technician Plus licenses as Technician. It is therefore
informative to consider the totals of the two classes,
since the Technician class includes a significant
number of Technician Plus licenses renewed as
Technician.

They cheapened the license, now nobody decent wants to get one and the FCC
is still thinking of dumbing it down even more. Pretty soon it will be
just CB'ers, lids, and retards that get licensed because testing will get
dumbed down to the point even they can get an extra, then the rest of us
will have to listen to bands that sound like 11 meters.
