Body: 

I have a couple of things that are time sensitive thus this news letter.

1) I received the following from Peter VE3HG on the proposed Bill 118 re cell phones.

Please be advised that after consultation with other affected groups that use amateur radio mobile equipment and following a helpful and friendly discussion with Ontario Ministry of Transportation staff Radio Amateurs of Canada has recommended on the RAC blog that all Ontario amateurs offer their personal comments to the government consultation website in regards to Bill 118 which could have a negative impact on the use of amateur radio equipment in moving vehicles. See the RAC Blog http://racblog.wordpress.com/ for details.

The web address to read the Bill as it stands today is http://www.ontariocanada.com/registry/quickSearch.do?searchType=current

On that page you will see BILL 118. Click on it and it will take you to the comments page.

This would be the time to encourage all Ontario amateurs to comment prior to the June 19th deadline.

Please take the time to comment.

2) June 6th (tomorrow) is the 65th anniversary of D-Day and the HMCS HAIDA will be on the air as VE3RCN. Again see the RAC Blog http://racblog.wordpress.com/ for details. If you get the chance try to make a contact. This is a GREAT way to remember our veterans who fought for our freedom.

That is about it for right now. Enjoy the warm weather while we have it.
