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.
