Summer BBQ
How about your back yard?
A summer BBQ is a nice gathering and can include radio, try out antennas or make a new one. Get help installing your mobile or making a repair.  It can be a pot luck as well, however it's done, past experience has shown it as a worthwhile social event. If you are interested, contact us.

RAC Basic Qualification Amateur Radio Course: Winter 2026

Radio Amateurs of Canada is once again offering an online Amateur Radio course so that individuals from all across Canada can obtain their Amateur Radio Operator Certificate with Basic Qualification.

This course prepares students for the Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada Basic Qualification Level Operator Certificate exam to operate on allocated Amateur Radio frequencies.  It is open to everyone across Canada and even abroad. Classes will be recorded, so occasional absences are not a problem.

The course will be held on Thursdays and Sundays commencing on Thursday, February 19 and ending on Sunday, April 26.  Classes will be held on Thursday evenings from 6 pm to 9 pm Eastern Time and Sunday afternoons 1 pm to 4 pm Eastern Time. There may also be a handful of additional classes if necessary.

The registration fee for the course is $50 plus GST/HST. The cost of the Basic Study Guide is extra and an order link will be provided upon completion of payment.
