These are the number of current,
unexpired FCC-issued amateur radio licenses held by individuals on the stated dates, and the percentage of the total number of active licenses that class contains. Percentages may not add up to exactly 100.0% due to rounding. These totals do not include licenses that have expired but are in the grace period, nor do they include club, military and other station-only licenses. Effective April 15, 2000, FCC no longer issued new Novice, Technician Plus and Advanced class licenses, so the numbers of those license classes have declined steadily since then. Also 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. On February 23, 2007, the last Morse Code test element, the 5 wpm receiving test, was eliminated as a requirement. The ARS License Numbers: 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 all classes - 674,792 As of February 22, 2007: Novice - 22,896 (3.5%) Technician - 293,508 (44.8%) Technician Plus - 30,818 (4.7%) General - 130,138 (19.9%) Advanced - 69,050 (10.5%) Extra - 108,270 (16.5%) Total Tech/TechPlus - 324,326 (49.5%) Total all classes - 654,680 As of March 9, 2007: Novice - 22,725 (3.5%) Technician - 291,312 (44.5%) Technician Plus - 30,243 (4.6%) General - 132,863 (20.3%) Advanced - 68,837 (10.5%) Extra - 108,789 (16.6%) Total Tech/TechPlus - 321,555 (49.1%) Total all classes - 654,769 Changes: From May 14, 2000, to February 22, 2007: Novice - decrease of 26,433 Technician - increase of 88,114 Technician Plus - decrease of 98,042 General - increase of 17,461 Advanced - decrease of 30,732 Extra - increase of 29,520 Total Tech/TechPlus - decrease of 9,928 Total all classes - decrease of 20,112 From May 14, 2000, to March 9, 2007: Novice - decrease of 26,604 Technician - increase of 85,918 Technician Plus - decrease of 98,617 General - increase of 20,816 Advanced - decrease of 30,945 Extra - increase of 30,039 Total Tech/TechPlus - decrease of 12,699 Total all classes - decrease of 20,023 From February 22, 2007, to March 9, 2007: Novice - decrease of 171 Technician - decrease of 2,196 Technician Plus - decrease of 575 General - increase of 2,725 Advanced - decrease of 213 Extra - increase of 519 Total Tech/TechPlus - decrease of 2,771 Total all classes - increase of 89 --- 73 de Jim, N2EY |
