Changes to the RAC Challenge – January 2025

Radio Amateurs of Canada (RAC) Contests and Awards Committee is pleased to announce the following changes to the RAC  Canadian Portable Operations Challenge.

We have made some changes to the points system to try and keep the race a little tighter, differentiate mobile operations, and continue to encourage contacts on less used frequency bands on both ends of the spectrum.

Le comité des concours et diplômes RAC a le plaisir d’annoncer les changements suivants au programme des diplômes RAC.

Nous avons fait quelques changements au systême de pointage afin de rendre la course un peu plus serrée, de différencier les opérations mobiles, et de continuer à encourager des contacts sur les bandes de fréquences un peu moins utilisées des deux extrémités du spectre.
