RAC Bulletin 2010-11E - RAC requests 60m Spot Assignments

RAC Bulletin 2010-11E - RAC requests Industry Canada for 60m Spot
frequency assignments.
2010-04-13

A formal request has been sent to the Director, Spectrum and Radio
Policy, Industry Canada for consideration in authorizing for the
Canadian Amateur Service the same five 5 MHz frequencies that are now
authorized in the USA.

In addition, two spot frequencies are also requested for exclusive
Canadian Amateur use. The ground work for this was established at
previous meetings of the Canadian Amateur Radio Advisory Board (CARAB).

RAC anticipates this request will go through a lengthy due process of
analysis and review at Industry Canada before being published as a
Canada Gazette Notice for public comment. If all goes well, we may see
authorization within a year.
