Total USA licenses dipped pretty significantly
this month (July). Looks to me like we'll end up July
about 10K below the peak total of 687K some months
back.

November 2006 has a lot of expirations too - around 11,000.

Any idea on what the cause for the surge in licensing at that time? And
I wonder if it was from 1996, or an earlier cycle?

I would have thought that the expirations would have mostly been
Technicians, but the majority are Extras. Interesting.

Mike,

I have no idea why. Maybe Jim does. The original total expirations
for July before the renewal phase started was upwards of 13K or
more. Several thousand have obviously renewed, but there's still a
big number that are probably gone.

Cheers,
