Radio Amateurs of Canada, National amateur radio organization in Ottawa, Canada
Radio Amateurs of Canada is a national organization based in Ottawa that manages frequency regulations and represents amateur radio operators across the country. It coordinates activities for radio enthusiasts and provides them with supporting services.
The organization began in 1993 when the Canadian Radio Relay League and Canadian Amateur Radio Federation merged into a single national structure. This merger brought together two long-established movements in the hobby.
The Canadian Amateur magazine, published six times yearly, connects radio enthusiasts across the country through technical articles, event coverage, and community updates.
Visitors can learn about the organization's services, including QSL bureau assistance, regulatory guidance, and insurance coverage for members. Contact can be made digitally or by mail depending on your preference.
The organization works closely with government agencies because it is located near federal departments in Ottawa. This position allows for direct conversations about radio policy and regulation.
