Are amateur radio stations checked for compliance with Industry Canada’s regulatory limits and are these emissions considered safe?
All amateur radio operators must operate their amateur radio installations in compliance with Industry Canada’s regulatory limits. Unless given specific reasons for doing so, Industry Canada generally does not verify amateur radio installations for compliance, but relies on the operators to ensure compliance. Amateur radio operators are knowledgeable about radio equipment and many amateur radio associations provide extensive information and training to their members about RF safety and compliance with the regulatory limits. If you have concerns about an amateur radio installation in your neighbourhood, you should discuss them with the operator. In most cases, amateur radio operators are quite willing to discuss such issues with their neighbours.
