IRTS delegation received by President McAleeseOn Wednesday last, November 15th, a delegation from the Irish Radio Transmitters Society was received by President McAleese at Arus an Uachtaran. The delegation consisted of IRTS President Finbarr EI1CS, Vice President Paul Martin EI2CA, committee member Paul O'Kane EI5DI, Gerard Gervin EI8CC, Joseph Deery EI4JA (who is a young white stick operator) and two sponsors of next year's CQIR event. The group outlined to the President some of the plans for next year's Jubilee celebrations. She was particularly interested to hear that it is hoped to site the HQ station for the CQIR event in the environs of the Arus, and to have it manned by young operators. If circumstances permit she would like to visit the station and she recognised the role that amateur radio could play in the gaisce awards scheme. She wished the society well for the year ahead and particularly hoped that the CQIR would be a great success in uniting the "Irish diaspora" with the homeland. On behalf of the Society Finbarr thanked the President for receiving
the group and entertaining them to tea.
