IRTS Course Guide Launched

The new CD ROM course guide was launched at the Irish Radio Transmitters Society's AGM last weekend in Cork.

As you know, a small group in the Society had been working on this project for some time past.
A PowerPoint presentation on the course guide, the CQIR contest and the Southern Africa DXpedition was running during the rally and generated great interest. Many of those present acquired copies of the course guide.

A demonstration of the course guide was held prior to the AGM and was attended by about 25 including representatives from 7 clubs. Free copies of the disk were provided to the club representatives.

The course guide is in web page format and covers all of the items on the HAREC syllabus on which the new multiple-choice examination is based. There are 400 slides with almost 200 illustrations and diagrams included in the guide. The guide is intended to assist those organising classes, those studying on their own or in small groups for the examination or as a useful refresher for those already licensed.

Information on the guide may be obtained by e-mailing “course at irts dot ie”. The Guide is free but there is a €5 charge for registration, post and packaging and e-mail support. The availability of examinations on a regular basis under the arrangement negotiated with ComReg under which the IRTS is responsible for organising, setting and correcting the examination seems to have generated renewed interest in experimental radio. The course guide will be of great benefit to anyone working to obtain an Experimenter's Licence.
