Follow Tom, WA5KUB live as he drives to the Dayton Hamvention. I wonder what goodies the big manufacturers will release this year? Keep an eye on findu for their position.

We will be having a general meeting on wednesday the third of May at 20:00 at Raheen House Hotel, Raheen, Clonmel. All are welcome. Call on S18 for directions.

Most of the Committee were present at the IRTS AGM this year. Paul, EI3ENB ventured down to Cork Saturday evening, EI7IG, EI2IT and EI3FFB departed their various homes to arrive in time for ‘kick-off’. EI2HI arrived afterwards, just in time to collect the Sliabh na mBan (Slievenmon) Shield, again!. EI7IG collected the Shandon Trophy on behalf of TARG, for the Clubs efforts in the VHF/UHF Field day last July, and (a surprised) EI7IG also collected the Shiela Piper Cup. A most enjoyable day was had by all.

As the club had a meeting last week, and quite a few were present at the Galtee Walking Festival, the Committee has decided to postpone the April meeting until later in the month.
The club has been asked if we could provide voice communications for the Ballyhoura Walking Festival. We will most likely have a meeting closer to the date (last weekend in April) to organise ourselves for this event.

The IRTS has updated their website, its at http://www.irts.ie

The monthly meeting of Tipperary Amateur Radio Group will be held next Thursday night, the second of March at 20:00 in Raheen house, Clonmel, Co. Tipperary. All are welcome.

Hugh, EI2HI, has been asked to remind everyone that dinner is booked for 20:00 sharp, we will not be waiting for stragglers. See you there!

The committee of TARG wishes to extend best wishes to all Radio Amateurs and their families. To members, we hope to see you in Cahir on Saturday night.
