Didn't FCC change the vanity call rules right about then?

No, IIRC Gate 1 of the vanity program opened in May or June of 1996.

No-code started in '92. I would expect a bump in renewals falling due
from last year onwards.

Wrong. Try getting your facts straight:

Testing change: 2/14/1991. First no-code license issued 4/12/1991.

I see, December '91 instead of some time in '92. Not exactly a huge error=
,
is it? The first batch were all people who had taken the theory tests at
Anne Arundel ARC before no-code licences were actually introduced, and so
were ready to go when it came in. I think you may find that those six
people had the only no-code licences issued in the US in '91!

Obviously, you have other issues too. It doesn't seem as if you can read d=
ates
either (and if you were thinking of the European format for dates, then the=
re is
no 14th month, so it should have been obvious that such a format wasn't use=
d).
You're not off by a month - but by 10; almost a year, and with the number o=
f
licensees in that period, the error is significant.
