[html] If we don’t support RAC now, when they need us most, we may as well kiss the bands goodbye.
Industry Canada advised both RAC and RAQI on Friday, Sept 10, 2010 that their Montreal office had authorized a number of 430 to 450 MHz frequencies and a single VHF frequency on 145.555 mHz. Â According to IC, frequencies were chosen to avoid known amateur repeater channels. Â These frequencies in the 70 cm and 2m amateur bands were temporarily authorized to support communications for many European entrants of a cycling event to be held on Quebec City and Montreal on Sept 10 and Sept 12 respectively. Â Â This type of authorized intrusion by Industry Canada of non-amateur communications in amateur spectrum is highly unusual and is a matter of great concern to Radio Amateurs of Canada. Â RAC will be taking the matter up with Industry Canada officials. Â RAC will be interested in knowing if actual interference has been caused to amateur communications; please report any observations to regulatory@rac.ca

[html] To celebrate VE6QEN obtaining her HAM CALL following 30 years of being kidded (hassled) and hopelessly pressured to become a ham, we have preserved the milestone on video. Sarina completely surprised me by taking the course and passing with an impressive 88% (she now claims she was only after a specific CALL). Most of…
