RAC Bulletin 2010-035E - Important News About the RAC Insurance Program
2010-11-30

For several years the Radio Amateurs of Canada has been able to offer
the RAC Insurance Program to its members and incorporated Affiliated
Clubs on a cost recovery basis. This program provided liability
insurance coverage for participating RAC Affiliated Clubs and their
members as part of the Radio Amateurs of Canada master insurance
policy. The RAC has been fortunate in being able to offer this
coverage without change for some time. Nothing however is ever
permanent in this world and insurance is no different.

Recently, the Insurance Broker who had been providing the insurance
has informed the RAC that the Insurer will no longer be offering this
type of insurance coverage. As a result, the RAC Insurance Team has
been scouring the market on your behalf to obtain the best coverage
and value that can be found. The Team has been successful and
liability insurance will continue to be available for RAC Affiliated
Clubs and their members. Details for 2011 coverage are being emailed
separately to participating RAC Affiliated Clubs.

The RAC members of an Affiliated Club that participates in the RAC
Insurance program will receive additional liability coverage for their
personal, non Club related amateur radio station activities at no
extra cost. Note that to be eligible for personal coverage, RAC
members must also be a member of an Affiliated Club that participates
in the RAC Insurance program. This is due to changes in insurance
availability and requirements of the Insurer.

An exciting new addition to the RAC Insurance Program for 2011 is
radio equipment loss/damage coverage. We will now be able to offer
this coverage for RAC Affiliated clubs that are participating in the
liability insurance program and RAC members in the Club. This
insurance will be available at extremely competitive prices and
provides loss/damage coverage for amateur radio equipment such as Club
repeaters and stations.

Complete details of this new Insurance Program will be posted shortly
on the RAC website at www.rac.ca. For further information or
questions, please contact Jerry Beneteau, the RAC Insurance Manager,
