RAC submits proposal on amateur radio
call signs to Industry Canada

On 30 August, 2004, RAC President Daniel Lamoureux, VE2KA submitted an RAC proposal on Amateur Radio Call Signs to Industry Canada's Director-general, Radiocommunications and Broadcasting Regulatory Branch, Mr. Jan Skora.

This Proposal, approved by the RAC Board of Directors, makes recommendations to Industry Canada on changes to Call Sign Policy and Special Event Prefixes as the result of the WRC-2003 decisions amending the ITU International Radio Regulations to permit call signs in the Amateur Service to have up to four characters in the suffix.

The Proposal is available in the News section on the RAC web site at http://www.rac.ca.

Amateurs with questions for RAC should direct them to their regional RAC Director.
