                    PIRATE USING RAC HEADQUARTERS CALL SIGN

      Industry Canada has been notified of a pirate station operating on
Packet Radio using RAC's new Headquarters station call-sign "VA3RAC".  An
"anonymous" packet message originating out of a Georgetown Ontario BBS
discredited and attacked members of RAC's national executive.

      Canadian amateurs are advised that VA3RAC messages or news bulletins
originate out of the Kingston Ontario BBS "VE3CDY" only. Officials are seeking
information leading to the identity of the persons illegally using the VA3RAC
"pirated" call-sign.  RAC legal counsel is examining abusive Packet messages
used to defame individuals.  Legal action is contemplated.
