For immediate release:
In August and September 2022, Radio Amateurs of Canada conducted an online survey open to all Canadian Radio Amateurs. The survey focused on the policy related to call signs, but also covered some other matters.
Over 2,300 people participated from every province and territory of Canada.
The raw data from the survey has been compiled and is now available on the RAC website. Dr Frank Howell, K4FMH, volunteered his skills in survey methods and analysis to produce a report organizing your responses. Frank's analysis is also available on the RAC website in a PDF document.
The RAC Executive and Board will work together to produce a series of recommendations for changes and updates to the call sign policy based on your input. Once approved by the RAC Board, we will present our recommendations to our regulator – Innovation Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED) – at the next meeting of the Canadian Amateur Radio Advisory Board (CARAB) sometime in 2023. ISED will then decide which recommendations to implement and when to do so.
If you have any questions or comments, please contact RAC Regulatory Affairs Officer Dave Goodwin, VE3KG, at regulatory@rac.ca and also the RAC Director for your region.
