Once again this year’s RAC presence at Dayton’s Hamvention (fourth year in 
a row after a ten year hiatus) was an overwhelming success.

Over the week-end, hundreds of visitors signed our Guestbook, adding to the 
long list from the previous four years. 

Numerous amateurs from various countries stopped in and chatted up our various 
volunteers and RAC officials on various topics such as our valuable Club 
Insurance program, membership types, Canadian ham operating rules, our 
band-plan, dx contesting, call sign policy for foreigners, and more. Many 
memberships were renewed and new ones were added as well. The new e TCA 
membership is available to US hams at the same cost as to Canadian hams.

RAC seized on this opportunity and distributed information fliers, TCAs, 
marketed our TCA advertising program to vendors, and tried to provide small 
gifts to each of our members (until we ran out!)

Directors available to answer questions were Derek Hay ve4hay, Bill Unger, 
ve3xt, Mitch Mitchel ve6oh, as well as the President, Geoff Bawden ve4baw, Vice 
President Glenn Macdonnell ve3xra, former RABC Officer Norm Rashleigh ve3lc and 
former Regulatory Affairs Officer Richard Ferch ve3ki. Former President Dave 
Goodwin ve3aaq was also on hand. 

“A big thank you is in order for our booth volunteers, staff, as well as RAC 
officials who made the trip down and contributed to it’s success” – says 
Geoff Bawden, RAC President.

“We are definitely planning on returning for 2015, this venue is a very 
valuable opportunity for our organization” – concludes Geoff Bawden.
