The RAC Report |
Canadian
Ham Mode Survey
On March 21st, RAC set up a
form asking about your favourite modes of operation. If you hurry, you may still be
able to complete your input to the survey by clicking
here.
They assumed that almost
everyone uses VHF FM, and did not included that mode in the list of choices. (Some readers
didn't respond to all the statements, so the totals do not necessarily add to 100%) The
responses are sorted in order of popularity, with the most popular modes of operation at
the top.
The average age of
respondents to date is 48.5
