Australian Ham Radio license totals

WIA News reports on the totals of new amateur radio licenses issued in
the year to June 2016

In a break-down table, the ACMA reports an increase in new licences
being issued in the 12 month period with an overall increase of 45.
- Foundation Licence 397
- Standard Licence Standard 108 [equiv UK Intermediate]
- Advance Licence at 89 [equiv UK Full]

The ACMA had a fall of 77 amateur licences on issue to 15,065 at June
2016, but reports a trend that each type of it's 153,000 apparatus
licences also declined in the last two years.

The timing of the WIA reporting period produces some variation when
compared to ACMA licence numbers, and is mostly due to some problems
with the new computerised SPECTRA licence database system. Also there
have been those who qualify through an assessment, obtain a WIA
callsign recommendation, but have not been Granted an ACMA amateur
station licence, due to non-payment.

Meantime, a reduction in interference caused by dodgy Light Emitting
Diodes or LED displays used for Christmas lights has resulted from an
ACMA awareness campaign. The ACMA continues its active monitoring and
compliance program, and caught up in its net are pirate broadcasters,
and a case of harassing and offensive transmissions on Citizen Band
Radio.

The ACMA had also permitted phone jammer tests at the Lithgow and
Goulburn jails, and mindful that emissions from the normally illegal
devices are not causing interference outside those correctional
facilities.
