    ------------------------------------------------------------

    The RAC Canada Conference and Annual General Meeting are now complete. We
    would like to thank all of the participants, presenters and volunteers
    for taking part in this year’s event. We hope to see you all next
    year!

    Our volunteers have posted the videos on the RAC YouTube Channel (https:// www.youtube.com/channel/UCDLLyrpUUSPugPU4h3Jf5Qw/featured) .

    We are still working on editing some of the videos but they can be viewed
    in their raw format and we will replace them when they are ready.

    Note: Unfortunately, there were technical problems with the “Rec
    eption of Non-Amateur Satellites” presentation and it is not avail
    able for viewing.

    If you visit the RAC YouTube Channel you will also find some excellent pre sentations from last year’s inaugural conference as well as some o
    ther presentations and videos.

    We would love to post other videos about Amateur Radio on our YouTube chan
    nel so if you have some or know of anyone who does, please contact Alan
    Griffin, RAC MarCom Director at marcom@rac.ca (mailto:marcom@rac.ca) .
