Countries Resized Relative to the Number of
Amateur Radio Licenses
Click on the resize icon to see the world
scaled to the number of ham radio licenses.
This amateur radio world map resizes the countries based on the
number of licensed operators. The data comes from the
IARU (International Amateur Radio Union).
I was able to create this map with the assistance of the folks
at SHOW/Mappingworld.
The table below shows the top 100 countries by ham radio
population.
