Hello all DXers, Contesters and HF enthusiasts!
The important deadline for the Early Bird Registration for the Fifth Maritime DX Forum on Friday, 22 August 2008 is at hand. You need to register by Sunday, 22 June in order to receive the more favorable registration fee and to qualify for the Early Bird prize.
As you know, this year the MDF is part of the Halifax Amateur Radio Club's 75th Anniversary Ham Fest celebration, 21 - 24 August. Full details can be found on the Ham Fest website - www.harc75.org .
At this point I already have over thirty of you registered for the Ham Fest and MDF. Please let me know by e-mail or phone what your intentions are, since I try to track about 140 people on this distribution list. Also please pass along the announcement and program information to anyone who you think may be interested.
Many thanks and...

If anyone is interested in purchasing a 2008 Maritime Provinces Callbook , please complete this form. The club will get a rebate for each book purchased through SPARC. I will be tracking the orders and collecting the funds before the Halifax Hamfest in August. The cost of the callbook is $15.00 and contains upward of 250 pages of Amateur Radio information.
On 18 May 2008, a petition began circulating on the Internet that quotes an unsigned e-mail from the Toronto District Office of Industry Canada (IC) stating that Industry Canada is no longer the regulatory body overseeing the amateur radio service, and that amateur radio is self-policing.
Radio Amateurs of Canada (RAC) contacted IC on 20 May, the first working day after the petition began. IC have confirmed that its contents are incorrect. IC clearly affirmed they are the regulatory authority for Amateur Radio in Canada. The originator of the petition, Eddie Pereira VA3EDP, has since received a message from the acting Director of IC's Toronto District Office confirming that the original unsigned e-mail was sent in error. Eddie will be meeting an IC official in the near future to discuss a spectrum management issue that was the cause of his initial inquiry with IC.
RAC asks all Canadian Amateurs to contact RAC first if they have specific concerns about IC's willingness or ability to supervise the Amateur Radio Service. RAC is here to serve the interests of all Canadian Amateurs and we will do our best to ensure IC listens to our concerns.
