Paul Widmeyer I am responding to the notice set out at the following URL: http://strategis.ic.gc.ca/SSG/sf01772e.html I am in favour of this proposal. I am one of those who holds the qualifications described in the Notice. I have not operated on the 10m band or on high frequency and I would welcome the opportunity to do so. Additionally, I do not forsee any significant problems resulting from the implementation of this proposal. Please ensure that the appropriate regulatory changes are made to permit this proposal. Yours truly, Paul Widmeyer, VE3ZNO 11 Alyson Court Welland, ON L3C 7B8 Tel: (905)734-8126 E-mail: <[email protected]> 2. David E. Orbell PROPOSAL TO GRANT OPERATING PRIVILEGES IN THE 28.0 MHZ TO 29.7 MHZ BAND TO INDIVIDUALS HOLDING AN AMATEUR RADIO OPERATOR CERTIFICATE WITH BASIC AND MORSE CODE (5 W.P.M.) QUALIFICATIONS" I'm pleased to see the progress of this proposal. I fully support it. I'd like to know why the 'other end' of the High Frequency spectrum has not been considered at the same time. The 40 Metre Band is available to Amateur Radio Operators with the Morse Code 5 W.P.M. qualification in other countries, such as Japan. The 40 Metre Band would give Amateur Radio Operators with the Morse Code 5 W.P.M. qualification, access to more "across Canada" range and interprovincial NETS. regards, David E. Orbell(VE3RRN) PO BOX 1459 Lakefield, ON K0L 2H0 3. Paul Lantz I agree with the proposal to extend privileges however I wish to suggest that further allocations be made available to amateurs in this category. 10m is a very interesting band but its utility may be marginal at times. I suggest that an additional allocation be made available in a band such as 40m that would be useful to amateurs more of the time. As a resident of a remote community, I agree that the current allocations are inadequate. Operating on 160m is often very difficult. 80m is of little to people in remote areas during many daylight hours, especially in the summer. While some might argue that limiting 5wpm amateurs to these bands encourages people to upgrade, I suggest that it simply results in a great deal of frustration when new amateurs find out that HF operations are simply not possible much of the time. This is a particular problem in remote areas where the VHF/UHF bands are of limited utility. Paul Lantz VE3KBL Moosonee, Ontario 4. Brent Rothenberg Chief, Authorization, Operational Policies, Procedures & Programs Date sent: Sat, 01 May 1999 10:54:52 -0400 From: Brent Rothenberg <[email protected]> Send reply to: [email protected] To: [email protected] Subject: 10 meter allocation to basic & 5 wpm Thanks for the opportunity to comment on the above initiative. I think that this would be a terrific way to entice some more amateurs to obtain their 5 wpm. Personally, I have my 5 wpm and I am presently working on my 12 wpm. I really like the idea that some actual work and committment is still required to obtain these types of bands. So many people who just have the basic seem to just "stall" there. They either don't have the ability or are unwilling to put in the extra work necessary to get their cw. Opening this band to the holders of just the basic qualification would not be as healthy in the long run for ham radio. 'Can't wait! 73 VE3 WKR 73, Ken VE3PU 613 225-3108 Industry Canada notice # DGRB-005-99 May 1, 1999 Allocation of 10 meter band to those amateurs possesing basic and 5 wpm I am writing you this letter to let you know that I support the above initiative entirely. By opening up this part of the spectrum to these amateurs you are ensuring that more will want to obtain their 5 wpm endorsement. This band should not be opened to those who just have their basic qualification. The health of amateur radio depends on people striving to do more and do better. Resting on a basic qualification does nothing for the hobby and does not deserve any further "reward". 73 VE3 WKR 5. Jacques Gauthier Monsieur, Pour faire suite a votre proposition d'ouvrir la bande de 10 mètres aux amateurs qui possèdent la compétence 5 mots minute en cw, je suis en désaccord. A la demande de radioamateurs de partout au Canada comme vous dites. Et bien je crois justement que ce sont les radioamateurs qui n'ont pas de compétence en morse qui font la demande. Probablement pour un jour faire la même demande de faire pour toute la bande. Et par la suite le commerciale. Ce n'est pas une chasse garder que de faire un petit effort pour apprendre le 12 mots minute. Vous n'avez qu'a regarder ce qui s'est passer avec la bande C.B. pour vous en convaincre. Un vrai désastre. Merci de votre attention, Jacques VA2-JAC, 73 6. Michel Morin June 04, 1999 Comments on DGRB-005-99 I personally think that the idea of giving access to the 10 meters band is too little too late. The way it’s going right now, most hf active radio-amateur operators are going to be silent keys in a few years and no one will be there to take their place mostly because of the code requirement in the regulations.What I would propose would be to give complete hf access to those amateurs who have the guts to pass the 5 words per minute test and the advanced theory test. This way, many hams like me who simply can’t get to 12 wpm would be more than glad to finally have access to al lthe hf bands.Let me tell you a story which happens to be mine and also reflects what many hams I know have lived through.. About 25 years ago, I wanted to be a ham and went to take the exams of the time after practicing cw for a full year. I took the written exam with a nearly perfect score. The cw exam at 10 wpm was something else. After trying it about 4 times and failing completely, I gave up and said the hell with ham radio. The problem was I still wanted to become a ham. About 2 years ago, I heard that I could get a radio amateur license without taking a cw exam. I went for the basic exam and again got it without a hitch. I then started working 2 meters but soon tired of it because I wanted to get on hf. Since the speed had been lowered to 5 wpm, maybe I could do it. After practicing for a few months, I took the test and made only one error in receiving. At last, I could get on hf in a limited way. I got a real thrill out of doing dx on 80 meters but wanted something more. I did try a few cw contacts with very slow cwers but could never complete one. Each time somebody actually answered me, I simply froze and had to take my microphone and excuse myself. I decided that I would lick the damn thing and started practicing every day to get my speed up. On the way, I also got my advanced theory exam done again with a very good score. (98) After practicing cw for one year at least one hour every day, I still couldn't get my speed up. I simply gave up on cw about 5 months ago and today, I can't even copy 3 wpm. Out of frustration, I sold my HF rig and went back to 2 meters. Where I live, the noise level is about 20 over S9 on 80 meters most of the time but 40 meters and up is quite acceptable. Unfortunately, I am not allowed there because of stupid regulations. I am not a bad ham, I am 54 years old and would not mind taking more advanced theory exams to gain full hf access but don't talk to me about high speed cw as a requirement.

  • SMSE-005-05 – Consultation Paper on Broadband Over Power Line Communications System Created in Microsoft WORD 2000 XP Home Edition
    Attached are my comments to: Notice No. SMSE-005-05 – Consultation Paper on Broadband over Power Line Communications System Created in Microsoft WORD 2000 XP home edition I am a licensed amateur radio operator – VE7BWC, and am very concerned about the proposal to allow the BPL system, as anyone near power lines will experience harmful interference to incoming signals. There will be interference over a huge area and it will not only affect Amateurs. An example: ships at sea use HF (High Frequency) for any distance communications, as VHF is only useful for vessels in close proximity to one another. Long distance distress signals intended to be received at a shore-based station will be totally unreadable for any station near a power line. This will be true for any number of civil and commercial services. The amateur radio service has proven itself to be extremely useful in recent emergencies, being almost the only working communication after the disasters have struck. Almost all receiving stations worldwide are near power lines. In most disaster scenarios the amateur operators are using battery power so the signals coming out are not strong but with good conditions can be read over thousands of miles away. These signals would be unreadable unless and until there is major refinement of the proposed system. With today’s state-of-the-art technology in many disciplines it seems preposterous that such a system as BPL should be allowed. As it stands now it should be scrapped or put on hold, as it will be a massive assault on a huge area of the radio spectrum.

We are pleased to note that these allocations are to continue unchanged. We believe that there will be little likelihood of interference or negative impacts of the new allocation to the radiolocation service on the use of this frequency band by amateurs, or of amateur operations on the proposed use by radiolocation service. On this basis, we have no objection to the new allocation.
