Revised regulations on amateur radio are working their way through
the bureaucracy of China's government and are expected to open the door for
widespread licensing of individuals and clubs in the world's most populous
nation. The new rules are also expected to expand recognition of amateur radio
organizations in China from only the Chinese Radio Sports Association (CRSA) to
include the relatively new Chinese Radio Amateurs Club (CRAC). [
See PY2QI's
article, "Inside a Chinese Contest Station - B1Z in the WPX SSB
Contest," in the January 2013 issue of CQ
.] According to
Newsline, the
CRAC is expected to become China's official representative to the International
Amateur Radio Union.
