Amateur Radio: Out of this World Opportunities!

Amateur Radio is a scientific and technical hobby and service, made especially for youth, that brings people, electronics and communications together.

Nobel Prize winners – Michael Brown (Physiology 1985), Joe Taylor (Physics 1993), George Smith (Physics 2009), William Moerner (Chemistry 2014) – discovered Amateur Radio in their youth and credit it for their lifelong interest in science.

Through the wonders of Amateur Radio, you will learn and practise a set of STEM-based skills and principles, such as the basics of electronics and wave propagation, and discover a wealth of educational opportunities such as high altitude ballooning and worldwide and near-space communications.

Radio Amateurs of Canada (RAC) is the national association for Amateur Radio in Canada. It is a not-for-profit membership association with its headquarters in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, representing the interests of Amateur Radio across Canada.

The following are just a few of the examples of the important role that RAC plays in protecting the Amateur Radio Service and ensuring that all Canadian Amateurs can enjoy their hobby.
