Subject: Fun with numbers
From: (Len Over 21) Date: 4/11/2004 4:21 PM Central Standard Time Message-id: For what it's worth, as of 6 April 2004, there were 282,948 no-code-test Technicians in the FCC ham database. That's a whopping 38.9 percent of all licensees who cannot, legally, operate on ham bands below 6 meters. That number is almost twice as big as the 146,174 or 20.1 percent who were General class licensees on that date. For what it's worth, all 282,948 of those no-code-test Technicians were free to take the appropriate examination and receive authorization to operate on HF. As of 6 April 2004, no person has ever been barred, restrained, detained, blocked or otherwise impeded from taking ANY Amateur Radio exam by any other person or entity, private or public, real or imagined. Advanced class were 84,507 or 11.6 percent and Amateur Extras were 107,343 or 14.8 percent. Novice was only 38,814 or 5.3 percent and Technician Plus almost twice that at 67,359 or 9.3 percent. There WOULD be a significant playground "threat" should the no-code-test Technicians get a piece of the HF action. Might be true doom and gloom plus the hue and cry of alarum from those who think that HF was made only for Them. And who would "Them", be, Lennie? Should be clear that HF denizens need more space to play. Nobody seems to be active on doing that. All that happened in the relatively recent time resulted in five "channels" on 60 m. According to NTIA Spectrum Projections, an endnote says that ARRL "requested more bandspace" a dozen years ago. The only thing on the current WRC-07 agenda is the 136 KHz LF band consideration "for study." Where are all the bandspace Activists? Living on Lanark and bragging about how they don't need an Amateur license to put a Part 15 transmitter on an Amateur allocation...As if they were really capable of doing it... Steve, K4YZ |
