Industry Canada Gazette Notice
on Morse Code
On Saturday, 28 August, 2004, Industry Canada published Canada Gazette
Notice DGRB-003-04 - Consultation on "Recommendations from Radio
Amateurs of Canada to Industry Canada Concerning Morse Code and Related
Matters", and invited comments. Amateurs have sixty days in which
to respond.
The RAC Proposal deals with the WRC-2003 decisions concerning Morse as
a mandatory qualification for HF operation in the Amateur Service. RAC
has recommended that Industry Canada delete the mandatory requirement
for Morse testing but leave it as a voluntary qualification as it may
be required for reciprocal operation in those countries retaining a Morse
requirement.
Amateurs should address comments to Industry Canada as directed in the
Notice. RAC recommends that Canadian amateurs endorse this proposal.
Amateurs with questions for RAC should direct them to their regional
RAC Director.
