Special Call Sign in Canada - Revised Report
The revised Special Call Signs in Canada report is available from the table of contents on the left hand side of the page under the "Revised Report" entry. It is accompanied by a PowerPoint presentation with presenter notes for use when giving presentations about the report at club meetings, hamfests or other events. |
Currently Radio Sport Canada is in discussion with some RAC officials about the possibility of RAC initiating informal discussions with Industry Canada about the recommendations in the report. |
We welcome suggestions and comments to help us gauge the acceptability of these recommendations from the broader Canadian and international amateur radio communities. Please send you comments and suggestions to feedback before Sept 30, 2007 for consideration during preparation of the final report. |
Objective
The objective of the Radio Sport Canada 2x1 Project is to alter the way 2x1 callsigns are issued for use in radio sporting events, and to strongly recommend a process that better meets the needs of both IC and the radio sport community. |
