IRTS Radio News Bulletin Sunday 19th May 2019

Park Hotel, Clonmel on Tuesday 28th May at 8.30pm. New members or anyone
interested in amateur radio are very welcome.

50 MHz Activity Needed - 13 June 2019
This year the ITU World Radiocommunication Conference (WRC-19) starts on
28 October and will last four weeks. An important agenda item for the
amateur service is for the WRC to consider the consolidation and extension
of 50 MHz in Region 1 (Europe, Africa, Middle East and Asiatic Russia).
One of the national telecoms administrations, which are actively
supporting the proposal, is the Czech Republic; unfortunately some
other administrations are actively opposed.
To gather solid evidence of the high level of amateur activity on the
band, and at the same time to demonstrate that amateurs can co-exist with
other band users including the military, IARU is supporting a monitoring
trial in the middle of June. The event is being run by the Czech national
radio society, in conjunction with their regulator. It is part activity
period and part contest. Government and professional users will be
monitoring (and some will be transmitting as well) so it is important
that we make a good showing. Remember, by the way, that if you do hear
any non-amateur stations you must make sure you do NOT cause them any
interference.
Full details can be found on the iaru-r1.org website.
Date and times are Thursday 13 June 2019 07:30 - 09:00 UTC and
11:00 - 12:30 UTC
There needs to be as much activity as possible on the band during
these two periods, preferably sticking to the Czech power limit of
25 W ERP. It doesn't matter whether the band is open or not, just get
on the air using SSB, CW, Digital, or all three. It is not essential
that you should submit an entry for the contest although that would be
appreciated, but IARU would definitely like as many logs as possible
(contest or non-contest) to be sent in by 15 June, to provide solid
evidence that can be used in pre-WRC planning.
Dundalk Amateur Radio Society
A new addition to facilities at Marconi House is a new technical library.
Already, thanks to kind donations from club members, the society have a
significant amount of text books, magazines, journals, manuals, etc.
which are available for withdrawal by members. This will assist
new-to-the-hobby members as learning tools, as well as being a reference
source to not-so-new-to-the-hobby members. DARS is looking forward to
the new 2019/2020 season and would like to send thanks to all those
associated at the club.
South Dublin Radio Club
A guest speaker talk will be taking place on Tuesday 4th of June 2019
at Ballyroan community centre on the Marian road in Rathfarnham.
All members are asked to attend. Additional details to follow over
the coming weeks.
