*For immediate release:*

In response to the global pandemic, Radio Amateurs of Canada is once again
offering an online *Advanced Qualification Amateur Radio Course
<https://rac.us10.list-manage.com/track/click?u=1cc2ce962688ad6bb6db0d414&id=c7f39cff51&e=7c0232a7d3>*
so
that individuals can upgrade their qualifications while continuing to
practise social/physical distancing.

With your *Advanced Certificate*, you can run higher power, operate a
remotely-controlled station, obtain operating privileges when travelling
overseas, set up repeaters, be the trustee for club stations and even
become an Accredited Examiner (AE).

In addition to the Advanced Course, a *Basic Qualification Amateur Radio
Course* will also once again be conducted with the assistance of the
Annapolis Valley Amateur Radio Club (AVARC) of Nova Scotia. We anticipate
that the next Basic course will start in mid-August and are currently
setting up the course.

Registration for the Basic course is not yet available and we are not
keeping a waitlist. We will be sending out a RAC bulletin as soon as the
information becomes available and also posting it on the RAC website
