And when the vanity rules changed, there was naturally a spike in
application numbers - and 10 years later, a spike in expirations.

We're about 30 months shy of even the leading edge of that spike.

Yep - and we don't know if it will be a spike, or a bump, or whatever. Or even
if it has much of an effect at all.

You are the keeper of the "poll." I say that there will be no siginificant
spike in application numbers. In fact, I think you'll see the number of
applicants for new licenses go down (first-time entry to the ARS--or entry
from long expiration).

By the way, what of the "poll" for when CW would be eliminated from the
arena of testing?

Quite possible.

That was a pool, not a poll. I just updated it in its thread. So far four
predicted dates have passed.

You may just wind up being the winner of that one, Kim.

Uh huh...and you *could* validate me as a ham by inserting my callsign on
the submission.
