Lesson 17:

Regulations

Objectives:

This lesson is designed to provide the materials needed by the students to understand the regulatory structure of Amateur Radio in Canada. Each student is required to be conversant with the rules, as modified from time to time, and there is no option but to memorize them. Much as we hate to say it, the objective of this lesson is to facilitate memorization.

Apparatus:

None required.

Handouts:

  1. RIC-2 and RIC-3. These can be downloaded from the IC web site:

    RIC-2
    or
    RIC-3


    You need ADOBE Acrobat Reader© to read these. (If you don't have Adobe Acrobat Reader, there is a link on each of these locations to a download site).

  2. Regulations Summary Sheet. We are indebted to Sandy Sandwith VE4SZ for the preparation of this.

  3. Information regarding CEPT Amateur Radio Licences

  4. Abstracts From RIC-2

Each member of the class should have a copy of RIC-2 and RIC-3. You should also have your students go to page 17-1 and have them delete the IC web site reference which has changed since the Study Guide was printed.

Lesson Plan:

  1. Check the homework from the previous lesson

  2. Let's be honest here – the reality is that this is simply an exercise in regurgitation. Probably the best way to handle it is to have the class members work in small groups. Have them work their way through the three quizzes by searching through RIC-2 and RIC-3 in conjunction with the crib sheet that follows. When they find the answer in the regs have them jot down beside the question where they found the answer the appropriate question number

  3. Be sure to tell the students about the CEPT and IARP permits. There are questions about these in the question bank. If you need a refresher the current material is available through the RAC web site.

  4. You have reached the end of the course, congratulations. remember that the students now have to write the exam, buy and install a station, and get it on the air. All of these activities are traumatic to some people; you should assign them someone to call and ask questions. If your club has antenna experts, electronic experts, or simply someone who enjoys that various aspects of operating, see if they are prepared to be a resource for the new hams.

    Please remember to your students about Radio Amateurs of Canada/RAC, who provide free Outgoing and Incoming QSL services, Study and Operational Guides, etc. Remember, without RAC, this CD/ROM book would never have been written.
