4M IRTS News in the East Leinster region
/The members of East Leinster Amateur Radio Club have proposed reading the IRTS (Irish Radio Transmitter Society) News on 4 metres as a Pilot for a couple of months. The Club Station will be operating portable for the duration of this pilot.
They have received a positive response from the IRTS and are now in the final preparation stages.
Their aim is to broadcast the IRTS News on the First Sunday of each month at 10:30am GMT for three months, using FM Mode on 70.350MHz, with a request for call-ins and signal reports after the broadcast. SWL's may leave a comment on the club's website.
Equipment used will be an Anytone AT-588 operating at 40W into a flowerpot antenna hoisted up as high as they can get it in a nearby tree.
They would like to generate some interest in 4 metres and also contribute to the hobby by providing the service to the East Leinster region.
This will be a pilot, and they will reassess the 4-metre broadcast at the end of this pilot period.
They would be very interested in getting your feedback on this pilot.
