On June 28, 2007 Industry Canada released its long-awaited new policy
and procedures on towers and antenna siting, entitled CPC-2-0-03,
Radiocommunication and Broadcasting Antenna Systems, Issue 4, June 2007.
The new procedures will come into effect on 1 January 2008. Radio
amateurs should note that until then, the current CPC-2-0-03, Issue 3,
June 24, 1995,remains in effect.

Radio Amateurs of Canada (RAC) has been an active participant in the
national review of antenna tower policies initiated by Industry Canada
in March 2003, and in the subsequent many and varied spectrum-user
stakeholders' meetings that reviewed and commented on the initial draft
policy. The new CPC-2-0-03 was released by the Department without a
final review by tower proponents despite their requests. Therefore RAC
is now analyzing the new tower policy and procedures and will describe
their impact for the Amateur Service in an upcoming issue of The
Canadian Amateur.

Radio amateurs are invited to read the new policy at:

to comment to Jim Dean, VE3IQ and Richard Ferch, VE3KI/VE3IAY at
and , respectively.
