There are quite a few counties in Texas and other states which are
larger geographically than Rhode Island, and probably some of the other
"states" in New England.
Cherry County, Nebraska, has 6000 square miles. Rhode Island has 1200
square miles. Connecticut has 4000 square miles.
Of course, Cherry County has only 5000 people or so, or less than 1
person per square mile.
There's "some" rhyme and "some" reason for ARRL sections, but more
politics, methinks, than anything else.
But, the RAC combines the provinces into Maritimes so where's the beef?
And, from what I see on RAC.ca, there's no organization in NWT, Yukon, etc.
