Since Tech Plus licenses are being listed as Tech upon renewal, I suggest
combining the Tech and Tech Plus numbers in the two lists.

No, that's not what's happening, Steve.

We don't really know how many nocodetest Technicians there are anymore. FCC has
been renewing Tech Plus as Techs for 51 months now, so an unknown number of
current Techs are code-tested. In addition, an unknown number of Novices have
upgraded to Tech, and an unknown number of Techs hold Element 1 CSCEs.

Then that makes it all-the-more remarkable, Jim...since that number of
"Technicians" is even further diluted since "some quantity" of thier numbers
are "coded" operators.
