This is specific to current Tech license holders.
Two questions depending on your being
either Tech (no code) or Tech+ (with code):

If you are No code Tech, do you plan to upgrade
to General once the code test is eliminated
as a General requirement?

If you are Tech+ now, any particular reason
you haven't upgraded to General?

Well, Bill, here's some anecdotal information from some people I know.

I was talking to my brother, who is a Tech+ about why he has not upgraded to
General. There are two reasons. One is that since he is not very active
and does not belong to a club, he did not know that the General only needed
a 5wpm code test now. The second reason is that at the moment he is heavily
involved in boating as a hobby and just doesn't want to take the time right
now. However, he is keeping his license current. So perhaps someday he'll
get around to it.

My OM is a General but he stayed at Tech Plus for over a year before
upgrading. He was simply having too much fun on VHF/UHF SSB and 10m SSB to
take the time out to study. He probably has enough grid squares for the
VUCC if he had records of everything.
