“We are All About Amateur Radio”

Radio Amateurs of Canada (RAC) is the national association for Amateur Radio in Canada. It is a not-for-profit membership association with its headquarters in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, representing the interests of Amateur Radio across Canada.

Radio Amateurs of Canada represents all Canadian Amateurs at all levels of government. Speaking on behalf of Canadian Radio Amateurs, RAC provides liaison with government agencies and carries the Amateur voice about regulatory and spectrum issues to the discussion table with government and industry leaders, nationally and internationally.

RAC is the Canadian voting member society of the International Amateur Radio Union (IARU).

RAC Advanced refers to the Advanced Qualification Certificate (AQC) issued by the Radio Amateurs of Canada (RAC) to amateur radio operators in Canada. The AQC is the second level of amateur radio certification in Canada, and it builds upon the knowledge and skills acquired in the Basic Qualification.

To obtain the RAC Advanced certification, one must pass the Industry Canada examination for the Advanced Qualification. The exam consists of 50 multiple-choice questions covering topics such as radio wave propagation, radio equipment design and operation, digital signal processing, and advanced radio operating practices. A passing score is 70% or higher.

In addition to passing the exam, applicants must also have a proficiency in Morse code at a speed of at least 5 words per minute.

The RAC Advanced certification allows the holder to operate on more frequencies and with higher power levels than the Basic Qualification. It also enables the operator to participate in more advanced aspects of amateur radio, such as digital modes, satellite communications, and contesting.

Once the AQC is obtained, the holder can apply for an Amateur Radio Operator Certificate with Advanced Qualification from Industry Canada, which allows them to operate an amateur radio station with more privileges in Canada.

The RAC Advanced certification is a stepping stone towards obtaining the highest-level certification in Canada, the Amateur Extra certification. The Amateur Extra certification allows operators to access all amateur radio frequency bands and operate at the highest power levels permitted by Canadian regulations.
