licenced radio amateurs. the figures.

New amateurs should be welcomed. Having a certainly level of intelligence should be essential, unfortunately the RSGB is more interested in numbers, i.e. bums on seats. Quality should come before quantity! It doesn't where you've came from, old habits should be left at the door and new, better habits should be adopted.

Amateur radio is about self learning & thus self development. The problem is not the quality, nor the quantity. It's the fact that far too many people get a licence & then think there is nothing else to learn. Personally I see quality, as someone who tries & who wants to learn. Not as someone who finds exams easy, but who cannot bother beyond the exam.

I was just thinking about how many Licences Ofcom told you were out and about, How do Ofcom know when some one has died because I'm sure that the spouse don't write in to tell them ?? OR are they saying that was the amount issued in its Day.

Like after you've passed your driving test, most of us forget parts of the Highway code. It's the same thing with the exams when you pass them. I have to refer back to the theory at times...
