News › Bill 118
Regulatory: Bill 118
Amateur Radio This came to me (VA3MPM) via e-mail...

To All Ontario Amateur Radio Club Contacts:

I am emailing you directly to update you on an important meeting that took place this morning (May 27) with staff from the Ontario Ministry of Transportation in regards to Bill 118. This is the Bill that will make casual cell phone operation in moving vehicles illegal this fall. It could have a serious negative impact on amateur radio use of our mobile radios. Along with representatives from The Toronto FM Society and the Canadian Association of Rally Sport (which uses ham radio extensively) I presented our concerns to a large stakeholders meeting at the Ministry of Transportation in Toronto.
Details are available (and will be updated on a regular basis) on the RAC blog .

We should know within 60 days whether or not amateur radio (best scenario) or the use of two-way mobile radios (second best scenario) will be exempted from Bill 118.

If no exemption is granted, I will be advocating further action. Until then, I'm counseling restraint.

Please pass this information along to your clubs, your other amateur radio associations, and interested individuals. And, please refer to the RAC Blog for the latest information.
