Default IRTS Radio News Bulletin, Sunday July 29th 2007

Theory Examination

The results of the theory examination for the
Experimenter's Licence held on the 28th of June were
issued by ComReg on Tuesday last. Of the 45 candidates
who sat the examination 23 passed. Congratulations to
all those who passed and we hope to welcome them on the
air very soon. We wish those who were unsuccessful the
best of luck at a future attempt.

Five examinations have been held since the IRTS took
over responsibility for the exam process just over two
years ago. In that period 111 candidates have sat the
examination and of these 67 were successful. The
arrangements negotiated between ComReg and the IRTS for
the running of the licence examination are working very
smoothly and have at last put the examination process
on a firm footing.

Church Broadcasts

Last week we carried an item telling you that it has
now been established that a church broadcast is being
transmitted on 28.105 MHz FM in the Dublin area. Some
further work is required to identify the Church
concerned. Mass is transmitted at 0900, 1000 and 1100
local on Sundays and at 1000 on weekdays. Initial
bearings would indicate that the transmissions are
originating somewhere on the northside of Dublin.

It would help greately if bearings on the station from
areas such as Blanchardstown, Malahide and the north
side generally could be provided, as these would help
to further pin down the general area from which the
transmission originates. The local Church notices can
be of assistance in positively identifying the Church
concerned. If you cannot identify the station and you
have a beam antenna you could take a bearing on the
peak signal from anywhere in the greater Dublin area
which in conjunction with similar bearings taken by
other stations could help in locating the source of the
transmission. Stations located outside Dublin should
listen on FM the lower end of the 28 MHz band generally
to see if any unauthorised activity is taking place in
the band in their areas.

If you hear anything worth reporting you should send a
report to Thos Caffrey EI2JD the IRTS Intruder Watch
coordinator at QTHR or to “thoscaffrey at hotmail dot
com” with a copy to Sean Nolan EI7CD at QTHR or to
“ei7cd at gofree dot indigo dot ie”. The report should
include date, time, frequency, signal strength,
possible location of station if identified, beam
heading in degrees from true north and any other
relevant information. If the station is identified from
an announcement of local events, details should be
given. Should you hear anything, no action should be
taken other than forwarding a report as requested.

It is in our own interests to identify any unauthorised
activity so as to preserve the exclusive nature of the
28 MHz allocation. The matter has already been reported
to ComReg who will act on the matter if we can provide
appropriate information.
