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 will take 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.
