ARLA/CLUSTER: Numero da radioamadores francesas aumentou nos 4 primeiros meses de 2019

Number of radio amateurs in France

France's national amateur radio society *REF* say total of ham radio
licenses increased more in first four months of 2019 than number of new
licenses in the whole of 2018

A Google translation of their post says:

For the first time in several years the curve of the number of French radio
amateurs registered with the administration is increasing!

The number of assignments of individual codes (or reactivation) over the
first four months of 2019 has already exceeded that of the whole of last
year: 297 at the end of April against 263 for the whole year 2018.

The reactivation of many individual codes is certainly related to the
suppression of the amateur radio tax.

The question of the tax was raised by the REF for the first time in April
2014 at a meeting at the DGE.

Question formally and in writing in May 2018 during the public inquiry of
the DGE.

We bet that among these "reactivated", a certain number choose to be active
.....

Grand total of individual amateur licenses:
2016 - 13482
2017 - 13285
2018 - 13126
April 2019 - 13324

Up until January 2019 an annual tax had been imposed on radio amateurs (a
license fee), see Amateur radio tax abolished in France
