Some years ago, I realized that a lot of the people I ran across
in my brief visit to Fairbanks were hams. If someone here has an
easy way to get the number of licensees up there, we can compare
it to the Census Bureau's 2003 estimate of 31,000 people.


QRZ.com says that there are "more than 500" hams in Fairbanks. It
wouldn't give me an exact number and would only display the first 300.
