However, before you submit your articles please review the RAC Author’s Agreement provided above. If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to contact the TCA Editor.
When submitting your articles please provide your contact information and indicate if you agree to the terms of the RAC Author’s Agreement. Submitted material will be reviewed to determine its suitability for publication. The reviewers will assess manuscripts in terms of such factors as: pertinence to Amateur Radio; technical soundness; timeliness; degree of interest to readers of TCA; and freedom from needless controversy. The material should be written in a clear and acceptable manner; be of an appropriate length for TCA; and be in publishable form, not requiring major editing. It should treat the topic in sufficient detail. Material must be legal, prudent and in good taste.
The editor will confirm receipt of your material and will communicate directly with you during the review process and after a decision has been made. Some articles may be published in both English and French. Any translation required will be carried out by TCA’s translation services.
TCA does not pay for published material. Your compensation will be the satisfaction of entertaining and educating other members of the Amateur Radio community.
