Problem is, USA ham radio is basically done by WHITE MALES so
it wouldn't go over big. Dunno about Canadian demographics
but British Columbia is largely white...

I know in Edmonton, Alberta there is at least one Chinese male and a
fairly active group of Philipino's. Also some women. But yes
predominantly in Edmonton I'd say at least 80% are white male.

I do not recall seeing any folks at the meetings who were black or
East Indian. In the Edmonton demographics there aren't many blacks
but there are a fair number of East Indians.

BTW there are a considerably number of hams in their 20s and 30s.
I'd say a third or so of the executive of the larger organizations is
in that age bracket.
