IRTS Radio News Bulletin Sunday 14th April 2019
Easter Monday Contests
We have a 70 cms counties contest and a 2 metres counties contest coming shortly. Both contests are on Easter Monday, 22nd April, the 70 cms event runs for an hour from 1.00pm, followed by the 2 metres contest from 2.00 pm for two hours; these times are local times. There are usually a number of portable stations out on the hilltops for these events, so counties not normally heard on these bands may be active.

The next Amateur Station Licence Exam takes place on Thursday 9th May. Note that the deadline for applying for this exam is fast approaching: the closing date for applications is Thursday 25th April. See www.irts.ie/exam for details of how to apply.
