statistics<o:p></o:p></h1>
<p><span style='font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>The March 2010 Japanese
Amateur Radio license figures show a total of 3,299,954 licenses, but this
figure should be viewed with care.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><span style='font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>The figures as at March 31,
2010 are:<br>
<br>
Class 1 - 26,683<br>
Class 2 - 75,229<br>
Class 3 - 195,122<br>
Class 4 - 3,002,920</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><span style='font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>Grand Total 3,299,954</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><span style='font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>Japanese Class 4 is the
equivalent of the UK Foundation (USA Tech) and gives access to HF, VHF and UHF
with 10 watts output. Introduced in the late 1950's it was the first HF Amateur
Radio license that did not require any Morse Code test.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><span style='font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>Class 3 can be considered
equivalent to UK Intermediate (USA General) and Classes 1 and 2 broadly equate
to UK Advanced (USA Extra).</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><span style='font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>All the Amateur Radio
operator licenses are Life-Time. A holder of a Class 1 license can also appear
in the statistics of all the lower classes.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><span style='font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>There is no automatic
mechanism to discontinue the license in the event of an Amateur's death so the
figures can be expected to include a proportion of Silent Key Amateurs.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><span style='font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>As well as an operators
license Japanese Amateurs need a station license to run their own station and
there are currently about 450,000 issued. These reportedly cost an initial $120
and then $28 on every 5 yearly renewal.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
