CQIR Contest

Following the success of the first CQIR contest held during the Irish Radio Transmitters Society's 75th Anniversary celebrations in 2007, the Society's Committee at their last meeting, discussed requests from at home and abroad for a repeat event.

You may recall that this HF event celebrated the Irish
diaspora overseas and gave an opportunity for those with green blood in their veins to enjoy a Worldwide Irish Contest.

The committee decided to consider running the event every five years on a weekend close to St. Patrick's Day which would mean that the next event would be in March 2012 to coincide with the IRTS 80th Anniversary celebrations.
We can also look forward to improved Solar Cycle conditions by then.

The Committee will consider revising the rules based on
lessons learnt during the first event. If you have any
suggestions or comments please forward them to the
Contest Manager, Thos EI2JD.
