Special Call Signs for Canada’s 150th Birthday In 2017Posted on December
17, 2016 by va7mpg





PLEASE REMEMBER YOU CANNOT USE THESE CALLS UNTIL 2017

Radio Amateurs of Canada has secured permission for all Canadian Radio
Amateurs to use special call sign prefixes to celebrate the 150th
anniversary of Canada’s Confederation.

National, regional and local events will take place throughout 2017 to
celebrate the anniversary and Canadian Amateurs will let their counterparts
around the world know of our celebration by using the following special
prefixes:

..

· Amateurs and clubs whose regular call signs start with VA will be able to
use the CF prefix instead of VA (for example, VA3RAC will be authorized to
use the CF3RAC call sign).

..

· Amateurs and clubs whose regular call signs start with VE will be able to
use the CG prefix instead of VE (e.g., VE4RAC will be authorized to use
CG4RAC).

..

· Amateurs and clubs whose regular call signs start with VO will be able to
use the CH prefix instead of VO (e.g., VO1RAC will be authorized to use
CH1RAC).

..

· Amateurs and clubs whose regular call signs start with VY will be able to
use the CI prefix instead of VY (e.g., VY2RAC will be authorized to use
CI2RAC).

..

These special prefixes are optional and Amateurs can choose if and when to
use the special prefix vs their normal prefix at any time during the year.

..

Stay tuned to the RAC website (http://wp.rac.ca) for additional information
