 Appointed To Canadian Amateur Radio Hall of Fame

QCWA Bulletin 2022-015 - Bryan Rawlings, VE3QN, Appointed to Canadian 
Amateur Radio Hall of Fame (CARHOF)

QCWA congratulates QCWA Life Member Bryan Rawlings, VE3QN on his 
appointment to the Canadian Amateur Radio Hall of Fame.

Bryan Rawlings was first licensed as VE2AME in Montreal in 1959. Despite 
long absences from Amateur Radio while living overseas (Saudi Arabia 
1978-88 and 1995-2001, and Russia 1992-1993), Bryan has again been an 
active Amateur since 2002 ? now signing VE3QN from Ottawa.

 From 2006 until 2020, Bryan represented Canadian Amateur interests as 
the main RAC contributor to the planning for and attendance at the 
International Telecommunications Union (ITU) World Radio Conferences in 
2012, 2015 and 2019. This involved not only attendance at the 
Conferences themselves, but also at national and international meetings 
in preparation for the Conferences. He also played a key role in 
obtaining support, both nationally and internationally, for 
Amateur-related issues including successes in gaining Amateur access to 
frequencies at both 60 metres and 630 metres. He was successful in 
establishing and maintaining excellent relationships with our regulator 
? Innovation Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED) ? and was 
instrumental in obtaining Canadian support for both of these spectrum 
issues. As a member of the Canadian national delegation at the ITU 
meetings, he played an important role in the discussions, both in the 
meetings themselves and in side discussions that helped obtain support 
for these initiatives. His tact, diplomacy and the respect he was able 
to garner from delegates from other countries played no small part in 
reaching successful conclusions that benefited Amateurs worldwide.

Just as importantly for Canadian Amateurs, Bryan also played a vital 
role in getting the operational arm of ISED to agree to and implement 
domestic rules making these bands available to Canadian Amateurs. He has 
also authored several articles in?The Canadian Amateur?magazine to make 
Canadian Amateurs aware of issues that arise internationally and the 
work that goes on to protect Amateur interests internationally.

Bryan is active in several local Amateur Radio clubs in the Ottawa area 
and is also active on the air on both HF (CW, SSB and digital modes) and 
VHF (FM).

Radio Amateurs of Canada and the Board of Trustees of CARHOF sincerely 
congratulate Bryan Rawlings, VE3QN, on his appointment to the Hall of Fame.

Radio Amateurs of Canada recognizes deserving Amateurs by appointments 
to the Canadian Amateur Radio Hall of Fame. The Constitution for the 
Hall specifies that the appointment as Member of the Hall is made for 
?outstanding achievement and excellence of the highest degree, for 
serious and sustained service to Amateur Radio in Canada, or to Amateur 
Radio at large?.

QCWA Bulletin 2022-016 - Today is QCWA's 75th Birthday!

Today marks the Official 75th Anniversary Date of QCWA!

It?s hard to imagine when our Founders gathered that fateful night in 
1947 at Pappas Restaurant in NYC that we?d one day be celebrating this 
milestone Anniversary in 2022.

The Board and I hope you are enjoying the Special Edition of the Journal 
sent on December 1. Composing 75 pages marking 75 Years was a labor of 
heartfelt nostalgia, and we think the final product is well worth saving 
to look back on as we celebrate this year.

And remember to participate in our Special Event and Contest. Details here:
