I think I was smart enough to deal with that. I used official figures from the
IARU ( http://www.iaru.org/statsum00.html ) showing the number of Canadian
operators (not stations, not clubs, not secondary callsign holders) - a total
of 44,024 in 2000. I couldn't find any license count information on the RAC
web site (or elsewhere).
Let me know if you can point to anything more accurate.
