UK Amateur Radio Licences as at 31st March 2007

The UK regulator Ofcom have supplied the figures for the number of Amateur Radio Licences issued in the United Kingdom as at 31st March 2007.


Grade 31st Mar 07 28th Feb 07 Change
Foundation   8306   8132    +174
Intermediate   3604   3528      +76
Full 49337 49314      +23
Club Stations   1223   1221       +2

Unfortunately figures for the total number of UK licences issued do not appear to be available for March 2006, I have however generated an estimated set of figures for 31st March 2006. These were derived by taking the figures that do exist for November 2005 and July 2006 and splitting the difference. Not exactly accurate but still useful to give a guide as to the change over the last year.
 

Grade 31st Mar 07 31st Mar 06 Estimate

The steep drop in the number of Full (Advanced) licences occured at the time of the changeover to the new Online Licensing system and was commented on at
