COMMUNIQUÉ FROM RAQI.

  For several days we have received messages from Radio Amateurs advising us of an ad for a television programme to be broadcast on January 21 seeming to associate Amateur Radio with CB.

  It has been several weeks to make this broadcast and a film crew visited RAQI to obtain information about the case which they are studying.

  At this meeting the difference between Amateur Radio and CB was clearly explained to the journalists.

  Yesterday, January 17, RAQI re-contacted the film crew to ensure that the difference was well understood and we were assured that the difference between the two services would be made clear in the report.

  It appears that the ad was made by a different crew who are not up to date with the facts.

  We can do little more than await the broadcast in question and hope thatall will go well as we have been assured. RAQI will be keeping an eye on this.

73,
Daniel A. Lamoureux, VE2KA
President, RAQI.
