Amateur Radio Licenses World Map

Countries Resized Relative to the Number of Amateur 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.
