1. Season's Greetings from RAC
To Fellow Radio Amateurs, your Families and Loved ones: I bring you
seasonal greetings from your national radio association; the Radio
Amateurs of Canada. I hope that 2010 has been an excellent year for
you and those that you hold dear.
As we enter this holiday season I want to wish each and every one of
you a warm wish for a fabulous holiday season as well as a healthy
and prosperous 2011. I am sure that you will be taking time to be
with your friends and family. Being with those closest to you makes
this the finest part of the year.
Take care. May 2011 be good to you.
-- Geoff Bawden VE4BAW, President and Chair, RAC

VA3QV asked First Vice President Ian MacFarquhar VE9IM to address
some of the questions we have heard recently.  Read Ian's replies at
