Ham Radio Ireland, The Digital Magazine, Is Back

A popular online ham radio magazine is returning for readers in Ireland - and around the world. Ham Radio Ireland is back. After a period of inactivity late last year, the free independent downloadable newsletter resumed online publication in late January.

Shortly after its creators launched its predecessor, the Connacht Regional Newsletter, in 2022, they realised it held appeal beyond its initial readership in western Ireland and it was renamed Ham Radio Ireland. Authors volunteered sharing their expertise on QRP, satellite operation, VHF/UHF, home construction, keyboard modes and other topics. According to Steve Wright, EI5DD, editorial contributions eventually slowed to a trickle, making continued publication a challenge. By last September, production had stopped.

John Tubritt, EI3HQB, from Collective Communications, and Steve Wright, EI5DD are on the editorial team to revive the magazine in a new format. Initially the best site for downloads will be via the Facebook page of Ham Radio Ireland. Links will soon be available on other social media platforms.

Authors anywhere in the world are welcome to send stories and pictures relevant to ham radio and their experiences. They can be sent directly to Steve at wright14@gmail.com
