Analyzing FCC amateur radio license issuance data, this resource presents monthly graphs and raw numerical statistics detailing the number of new and upgraded amateur radio licenses. The primary focus is on the impact of the Element 1 Morse Code test removal on HF privileges, specifically observing the transition rates from _Technician_ to _General_ and _Extra_ class licenses. Data is sourced from _QRZ Archives_ and processed using a custom Perl script to tally "Issued" licenses each month. The presented data, available in graphical, tabular, and raw XML formats, clearly illustrates the "spike" in General class upgrades following the rule change. It also highlights a consistent rise in new Technician licenses observed in March of both 2006 and 2007. While the dataset currently extends back to January 2006, providing a limited statistical snapshot for long-term Technician trends, it effectively captures the immediate climb in General class licenses.

Controlling amateur radio transceivers remotely often requires dedicated software to interface with the radio's CAT (Computer Aided Transceiver) system. CATSPAW is a software utility specifically developed by N2OHZ for the Yaesu FT-100, facilitating computer-based control over various radio functions. The software provides an interface for adjusting parameters such as frequency, mode, and other operational settings, which can be particularly useful for remote station operation or automated tasks. While the specific features and user interface details are not extensively documented on the download page, the primary function centers on providing a digital control layer for the _FT-100_. This allows operators to integrate the transceiver into a larger station setup that might include logging programs or digital mode applications, enhancing the overall operational flexibility. The utility's design focuses on direct control, leveraging the radio's internal command set. As a downloadable executable, _CATSPAW_ represents a common approach to radio control software from its era, offering a direct link between a personal computer and a specific transceiver model.
