The RAC Board of Directors is pleased to announce that Devon Racicot,
VE5DWR, has been appointed to the position of Treasurer.
Devon was born and raised in North Battleford, Saskatchewan. In 1993, he
developed an interest in radio communications after borrowing a scanner and
reading information on a local dial-up bulletin board system (BBS) that
happened to be owned by an Amateur Radio operator. He obtained study
materials and in February 1995 he attended the Industry Canada office in
Saskatoon and walked out with a licence and the call sign VE5DWR. Over the
next decade he obtained his 12 WPM CW endorsement and Advanced
qualifications.
Devon strives to be as well rounded as possible in the Amateur Radio
Service and can be found locally on VHF/UHF repeaters including all digital
modes as well as PSK31 on HF and Pactor/Winlink. He has recently become
interested in satellites, and portable HF/satellite operation while camping
is the most enjoyable.
He is a member of several area clubs and has served as President of the
Saskatchewan Amateur Radio League, Saskatchewan’s provincial organi
zation.
He has been a Radio Amateurs of Canada member almost continuously since
obtaining his licence and he served as the RAC Midwest Director in 2009. He
was part of the organizing committee for the Saskatchewan Hamfest in 2015
at which Radio Amateurs of Canada held their Annual General Meeting.
Devon has several years of experience as Treasurer with two Amateur Radio
organizations and a large non-Amateur membership-based Association and he
is familiar with accounting software, budgeting and reporting requirements
for non-profit organizations.
