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, that's probably about the time that Bruce/WA8ULX took the Extra
Exam that he wasn't going to take because he wasn't going to go for
Extra Plusser. He's posting below, so you might want to ask him why
all the Advanced's were upgrading at that time.
