New Zealand Licence Statistics

New Zealand MED (Ofcom equivalent) have now issued the Amateur Licence statistics for June. These show a continuing slow decline in the Amateur population.

These are the last statistics issued under the old system of Annual licences. New Zealand Amateurs now have a free Licence for Life, so from now on the total number of licences issued will have little meaning as that will inevitably increase month by month. The key figure will now be the number of new licences issued each month.

New Zealand only has a single class of Amateur Licence they have yet to introduce Foundation.
