Happy New Year everyone!
I just picked this up off my ham radio news feed and thought I'd share it:
Radio Amateurs of Canada (*RAC* <http://www.rac.ca/>) has secured
permission for all Canadian radio amateurs to use special call sign
prefixes to celebrate the *150th anniversary*
<http://canada.pch.gc.ca/eng/1468262573081> of Canadaâs Confederation
during 2017.
Starting on January 1, radio amateurs and clubs with VA-prefix call signs
may use CF instead, and those with VE-prefix call signs may use CG instead.
Amateurs and clubs with VO-prefix call signs may substitute CH instead,
while those holding VY-prefix call signs may substitute CI. Use of the
special prefixes is optional, and Canadian radio amateurs may choose if and
when to use the special prefix at any time during the year.
