Will do. Next event is the June 20+21 all-band event, celebrating 40 years of Dundalk Amateur Radio club. Listen out on ALL BANDS over that weekend and I'm sure you'll hear us giving a shout!

Now what ever happen to the days when we where given true signal reports. The KB2SXT station you gave him a 59 without looking at the meter!! and hes clearly a 58!! Now now lads, tsk tsk....

Only joking lads, great video lads....

[mythicalireland]

AH sure you know how it is. These signal reports are based on long experience at the radio!! Glad you enjoyed the vid. Must make some more HAM radio videos.

Thanks Noel. What's the craic?

[mythicalireland]

Nah. The cellphones were once on analog and could be heard on VHF/UHF scanners, but that day is long gone. Digital cell signals are scrambled now.
