hr crrl bulletin nr 23  from crrl headquarters
london ontario  september 29, 1985
to all radio amateurs bt

doc made several important announcements at the rso  crrl  1985
convention  held  in  london,  ontario this weekend.  effective
friday, september 27, canadian amateurs may,

use cw and phone, maximum legal power, on the entire 160  meter
band, 1.8 to 2.0 mhz.

operate repeaters on the 29 mhz band.

use 6 mhz bandwidth fast scan television.

operatz slow scan television without a special endorsement.

also effective friday, september 27th,  foreign  amateurs  from
itu regions 1 and 3, operating under reciprocal agreements, may
use the entire 2 meter band, 144 to 148 mhz.

doc  declined  to  comment  on  restructuring  of  the  amateur
service,  which is likely to propose a canadian novice license,
because the document was not in its final form.

doc did indicate its intention to proceed with the proposal for
deregulation  of  mode  sub  bands,  which would allow canadian
amateurs to operate any mode, anywhere in their amateur  bands,
relying  only  on voluntary adherence to recommended band plans
