According to their site, the UK boasts 72000 amateur radio operators and growth of around 15000 over the last 10 years. The RSGB has a very informative web site, a successful publication department, and a well attended convention yearly.

Just curious if we should be looking “across the pond” versus “across the border”.

Good luck to all involved!

What possible rational objection can there be to it? If there is a legitmate reason for not at least TRYING it, let’s hear that reason. Please! What’s wrong with the suggested plan?

Or, could the reason actually be that the plan didn’t originate from those who are elected to shepherd the corporation and therefore some faces are red and some noses are out of joint? What is going on?

Keeping RAC members and the Amateur Radio community at-large in the dark serves no useful purpose at all. It well may serve a personal purpose in some minds, but it’s highly questionable if it is one useful to the organisation.

If this view is in error then please, let’s hear the explanation and a detailed description of what the president, board and executive are doing on behalf of us members to fix what’s broken.

Canadian Amateurs need an advocate organisation led by thoughtful, energetic, approachable, imaginative and open leaders, not faceless schemers who sit in the shadows.

Believe me, Amateur Radio in this country will suffer if the RAC goes under. And that possbility is quickly becoming a probability. Positve action is needed NOW, not idle banter, self-serving proclamations or empty promises.

Lead, follow or get out of the way. Take a look in the mirror. Into which category does each of us fit?
