These are the number of current,
unexpired FCC-issued amateur radio licenses held by individuals on the stated dates, and the percentage of the total number of active licenses that class contains. Percentages may not add up to exactly 100.0% due to rounding. These totals do not include licenses that have expired but are in the grace period, nor do they include club, military and other station-only licenses. Effective April 15, 2000, FCC no longer issued new Novice, Technician Plus and Advanced class licenses, so the numbers of those license classes have declined steadily since then. Also since April 15, 2000, FCC has renewed all existing Technician Plus licenses as Technician. It is therefore informative to consider the totals of the two classes, since the Technician class includes a significant number of Technician Plus licenses renewed as Technician. On February 23, 2007, the last Morse Code test element, the 5 wpm receiving test, was eliminated as a requirement. The ARS License Numbers: As of May 14, 2000: Novice- 49,329 (7.3%) Technician - 205,394 (30.4%) Technician Plus - 128,860 (19.1%) General - 112,677 (16.7%) Advanced - 99,782 (14.8%) Extra - 78,750 (11.7%) Total Tech/TechPlus - 334,254 (49.5%) Total all classes - 674,792 As of February 22, 2007: Novice - 22,896 (3.5%) Technician - 293,508 (44.8%) Technician Plus - 30,818 (4.7%) General - 130,138 (19.9%) Advanced - 69,050 (10.5%) Extra - 108,270 (16.5%) Total Tech/TechPlus - 324,326 (49.5%) Total all classes - 654,680 As of December 2, 2007: Novice - 20,634 (3.1%) Technician - 293,165 (44.7%) Technician Plus - 21,586 (3.3%) General - 142,579 (21.8%) Advanced - 65,629 (10.0%) Extra - 111,806 (17.1%) Total Tech/TechPlus - 314,751 (48.0%) Total all classes - 655,399 As of December 9, 2007: Novice - 20,587 (3.1%) Technician - 293,520 (44.8%) Technician Plus - 21,390 (3.3%) General - 142,608 (21.8%) Advanced - 65,553 (10.0%) Extra - 111,852 (17.1%) Total Tech/TechPlus - 314,910 (48.0%) Total all classes - 655,510 As of December 22, 2007: Novice - 20,507 (3.1%) Technician - 294,270 (44.9%) Technician Plus - 21,019 (3.2%) General - 142,713 (21.8%) Advanced - 65,424 (10.0%) Extra - 111,991 (17.1%) Total Tech/TechPlus - 315,289 (48.1%) Total all classes - 655,924 Changes: From May 14, 2000, to February 22, 2007: Novice - decrease of 26,433 Technician - increase of 88,114 Technician Plus - decrease of 98,042 General - increase of 17,461 Advanced - decrease of 30,732 Extra - increase of 29,520 Total Tech/TechPlus - decrease of 9,928 Total all classes - decrease of 20,112 From May 14, 2000, to December 2, 2007: Novice - decrease of 28,695 Technician - increase of 87,771 Technician Plus - decrease of 107,274 General - increase of 29,902 Advanced - decrease of 34,153 Extra - increase of 33,056 Total Tech/TechPlus - decrease of 19,503 Total all classes - decrease of 19,393 From May 14, 2000, to December 9, 2007: Novice - decrease of 28,742 Technician - increase of 88,126 Technician Plus - decrease of 107,470 General - increase of 29,931 Advanced - decrease of 34,229 Extra - increase of 33,102 Total Tech/TechPlus - decrease of 19,334 Total all classes - decrease of 19,282 From May 14, 2000, to December 22, 2007: Novice - decrease of 28,822 Technician - increase of 88,876 Technician Plus - decrease of 107,841 General - increase of 30,036 Advanced - decrease of 34,358 Extra - increase of 33,241 Total Tech/TechPlus - decrease of 18,965 Total all classes - decrease of 18,868 From February 22, 2007, to December 2, 2007: Novice - decrease of 2,262 Technician - decrease of 343 Technician Plus - decrease of 9,232 General - increase of 12,441 Advanced - decrease of 3,421 Extra - increase of 3,536 Total Tech/TechPlus - decrease of 9,575 Total all classes - increase of 719 From February 22, 2007, to December 9, 2007: Novice - decrease of 2,309 Technician - increase of 12 Technician Plus - decrease of 9,428 General - increase of 12,470 Advanced - decrease of 3,497 Extra - increase of 3,582 Total Tech/TechPlus - decrease of 9,416 Total all classes - increase of 830 From February 22, 2007, to December 22, 2007: Novice - decrease of 2,389 Technician - increase of 762 Technician Plus - decrease of 9,799 General - increase of 12,575 Advanced - decrease of 3,626 Extra - increase of 3,721 Total Tech/TechPlus - decrease of 9,037 Total all classes - increase of 1244 73 de Jim, N2EY |
