CW Field Day


Three Irish field day stations were heard during last
weekend's CW Field Day. Shannon Basin Radio Club, using
the call sign EI3Z/P, and South Dublin Radio Club
(EI2SDR/P) battled it out in the grounds of Garbally
College in Ballinasloe, County Galway, while well known
EI contester Paul EI5DI operated with the "GI Brass
Pounders" (call sign GI6YM/P) in County Antrim.
Although the weather was not so kind, band conditions
were generally good. There was a lot of Solar activity
over the weekend, following the M3 flare on Friday 1st
June, making band openings unpredictable. However 10
metres and 15 metres were open for some hours on
Saturday and also briefly on Sunday.


The majority of QSOs were with other field day stations
in IARU Region 1, particularly UK and German stations.
However all participants reported calls from DX
stations, with Australian, African and South Pacific
call signs in the logs.

Comeragh Cycle Race


The national under 23 road racing championship will
take place in Waterford on the 1st of July. Richie
EI9HR is event Co-ordinator and he is being assisted by
John EI8JA. This years race will be on a greater scale
with over 160 riders taking part. The Civil Defence
have come on board this year to help with marshalling
and RTE will be filming the event.


AREN will provide the communications for safe traffic
management and accident reporting. There will be more
radio reporting points and mobile stations than last
year so more radio operators are required. Again
newcomers are welcome and training will be provided on
the morning of the race. This is an excellent
opportunity for operators to put their radio skills to
good use in a very enjoyable and rewarding way for the
benefit of the Community. All operators irrespective of
experience are welcome.


Please contact Richie on mobile 085-1465465 or evenings
on 051-854315. You can also contact Richie by e-mail at
