The Radiocommunication Regulations define the amateur radio service as "a radiocommunication service in which radio apparatus are used for the purpose of self-training, intercommunication or technical investigation by individuals who are interested in radio technique solely with a personal aim and without pecuniary interest." Article 32 of the Radiocommunication Regulations, which said "A person may operate radio apparatus only to transmit a non-superfluous signal or a signal containing non-profane or non-obscene radiocommunications " was repealed in 2011. Hopefully, amateur radio operators will continue to abide by that rule.
