Burnham Beeches Radio Club (UK) reports that the German regulator Bundesnetzagentur (the Federal Network Agency for Electricity, Gas, Telecommunications, Post and Railways) has banned sales of the Baofeng UV-5R handheld transceiver citing Amtsblatt 22 (Gazette 22).  Apparently the Polish regulator Urzad Komunikacji found that lab tests showed that the radio failed to meet relevant EU Directives and standards.  These standards may relate to spectral purity but also the power output and proximity of humans to the antenna.

Radio Amateurs of Canada is once again offering an online Amateur Radio course so that individuals from all across Canada – and even abroad – can obtain their Amateur Radio Operator Certificate with Basic Qualification while continuing to practise social/physical distancing.

The Yellowknife Amateur Radio Society had a monthly meeting on 31 March 2022 via Zoom.  Minutes are at:  Minutes 31 March 2022 .  The Society remains active and its future looks bright.  The date 31 March 2022 is also the end of the Fiscal Year under our Bylaws and so an Annual General Meeting is imminent.  We have a few things to sort out prior to the general call for an AGM.  

Our Vision

Our vision is to promote interest in the amateur radio service by

• providing education and training to add qualified and licensed individuals to the body of amateur radio operators in the amateur radio service;
• encouraging licensed individuals to keep interested in the amateur radio service through technical projects related to the amateur radio service;
• supporting civil authorities in emergency preparedness and emergency response to civil emergencies; and
• promoting the amateur radio service generally.

Our Mission

The Yellowknife Amateur Radio Society is a non-profit volunteer organization which designs, builds and operates amateur radio equipment and promotes science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education.  We aim to work in partnership with government, industry, educational institutions and fellow amateur radio societies.  We encourage technical and scientific innovation and promote the training and development of skilled amateur radio designers and operators.
