All Canadian hams should consider joining our national amateur radio association, Radio Amateurs of Canada. There are benefits to the individual but arguably more important are the ones to all amateur radio operators nationwide.
Now more than ever commercial interests are eyeing various pieces of the RF spectrum for their use. That includes the spectrum allocations that we amateur radio operators enjoy. RAC will represent our interests to the regulatory body that governs RF spectrum in Canada, Industry, Science and Economic Development, giving we amateur radio operators a real and unified voice at the spectrum governance table..
RAC publishes an excellent periodical which is available to members in either printed or electronic formats.
See the video below where Stuart Crawford, VE9CF, talks about the benefits that RAC provides. Also see the membership section on RAC’s main menu.
