Eric (VA7NX) received his Maple Leaf Operators certificate this past week. The certificate is a token of appreciation issued by RAC for joining the optional group. The Maple Leaf Operators Group was formed as an incentive for people to financially support the cash strapped national organization. Hopefully we will see more club members join the group in short order.
