The Limerick Radio Club was founded in 1946 by a group of Radio
and Electronic enthusiasts. The Club celebrated its 60th year
in 2006. To recognise the long achievements of the Club over
the years, the Committee and Members decided to apply for the
special call-sign EI60LRC to be available to Club Members during
that year of celebration.

Radio
Hobbies and Electronics Fair
The club has run a very successful Radio Hobbies and Electronics
Fair in the month of March each year. This fair was first mooted
by Michael Kingston EI2IX in 1987 and was continued to the present
time by subsequent Chairmen. Since its inception it has proved
to be a major radio event in the country each year. The 2009
event took place on Sunday 8th March 2009 at the Limerick
Radisson SAS Hotel, Ennis Road, Limerick. Each year the Fair
attracts amateurs/visitors from all over the country and is
the place to make new friends and renew acquaintances.
Contests
and Field Days
Club
members take part in various contests/field days each year using
the normal club call-sign EI4LRC/EJ0A. For special events, such
as the International Lighthouse week-end in August 2008, the
club obtained a special call-sign EI4TLH to operate from Tarbert
Island Lighthouse. Propagation conditions were quite good and
more than 300 contacts were made over the weekend.
