1. 60 Metre Consultation

Industry Canada has Gazetted the request from Radio Amateurs of
Canada for access to 60M. See the gazette item at
tinyurl.com/gazette60m. A consultation process now begins, which is
one of the last steps before final approval.

Industry Canada is seeking input on five items. RAC feels it is
important for amateur radio operators to comment on this proposal.
The five items, and the comment procedure, are explained at
www.rac.ca/en/news/bulletins/2012/26. Comments on these items must
be received prior to June 12th.
