I was sharing a table at a dinner at a ham convention (I can't remember which one) with a lady from the FCC. She pointed out that the only sure way the FCC has of noting the passing of a ham is the failure to renew the license after 10 years. She also noted that they don't get notifications from the Social Security Administration, and really have no idea of the number of living hams.
