These are the number of unexpired FCC ARS licenses held by individuals on the dates listed: As of May 14, 2000: Novice - 49,329 Tech - 205,394 Tech Plus - 128,860 General - 112,677 Advanced - 99,782 Extra - 78,750 Total - 674,792 ------------- As of March 31, 2004: Novice - 32,247 (decrease of 17,082) Technician - 262,370 (increase of 56,976) Technician Plus - 60,885 (decrease of 67,975) General - 140,768 (increase of 28,091) Advanced - 80,922 (decrease of 18,810) Extra - 105,152 (increase of 26,402) Total - 682,344 (increase of 7,552) But compared to March 31 of 2003 when the total was 685,432 we have a 12 month decrease of 3000. Actually a tad more than 3000, Bill. Additionally, there are some "heavy" concentrations of license expirations coming up in the next several months which, I think, will see our total licenses drop below 680K and maybe below the March 2000 number. Time will tell. The renewal rules confuse the situation because you cannot renew more than 90 days before expiration, but you can let the license expire and then renew in the 2 year grace period. The big question is: why such slow growth even after the restructuring of 2000? 73 de Jim, N2EY |
