The theme of World Amateur Radio Day (WARD) is “Celebrating Amateur Radio’s Contribution to Society”. To commemorate the event and encourage all radio amateurs to get on the air, RAC is hosting an event.
Those contacting one or more RAC stations (one in each province and territory) will be eligible for a special commemorative certificate noting their participation in RAC’s “Get on the Air on World Amateur Radio Day” Event. Participants simply need to complete one or more contacts, on any band and mode, with RAC official stations to earn their certificates. No logs need to be submitted, simply check back on the RAC website after May 1, 2020 and enter your call sign to download your certificate.

Hi All: Spent much of the day and evening on the air with FT8 and VHF. Contacted Inuvic, Hawaii, Virginia and American Samoa so it was a well rounded day. Space weather is bloody awful but one can make sporadic contacts.
