You only make yourself look pompous, arrogant and you WILL wind up the target of lots of uncomplimentary-to-you comments...as have already happened in here. shrug |

Prolly sippin it when those Frenchmen were calling him. He could have moved it to their legal authorization, you know. |

ARS License Numbers
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 December 31, 2005: Novice - 26,746 (4.0%) [decrease of 22,583] Technician - 275,144 (41.5%) [increase of 69,750] Technician Plus - 43,921 (6.7%) [decrease of 84,939] General - 135,059 (20.4%) [increase of 22,382] Advanced - 74,220 (11.2%) [decrease of 25,562] Extra - 107,436 (16.2%) [increase of 28,686] Total Tech/TechPlus - 318,459 (48.1%) [decrease of 15,795] Total General/Advanced/Extra - 316,444 (47.8%) [increase of 25,235] Total all classes - 662,526 (decrease of 13,162) 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. 73 de Jim, N2EY |

Of the remaining pool of Novices, we are losing them by attrition now as they are mainly inactive, not upgrading, and not renewing. Total Minus Novice May 14, 2000 = 625,463 Total Minus Novice Dec 31, 2005 = 635,780 (increase of 10,317 or 1.65%). Perhaps, once the Novice class has died out or come close to it, the "decline" in the numbers of amateur radio operators will cease (although 1.85% total or 1/3 of 1% per year is barely a decline). Personally, I believe that we are simply stabilizing our numbers. I.e. the "market" for ham radio is "saturated" and so we will not experience significant growth and, so long as we do a decent job of recruiting, will not experience a significant decline. Dee D.
