KARG Event Updates
July 6, 2020KARG Event Updates Like most
other clubs around EI, the regular KARG Club meetings have been postponed until
further notice amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Also a number of regular club events
have been cancelled and KARG???s participation in upcoming events will be made
known closer to those event dates. These
events are as follow
International Marconi Day (IMD), planned to be held on 25th
April. KARG had planned to operate from the usual location in Ballybunion, from
where the very successful EI100YXQ event was held last year. This event, being
the first outing in the calendar, is typically a great social occasion, as well
as an opportunity to re-connect with our friends at Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. Unfortunately,
this event had to be cancelled, but hopefully we can do it in 2021 !
Transatlantic Cable commemoration, planned to be held on 27th
July, on the 154th anniversary of the successful transatlantic cable
from Valentia to Hearts Content, Newfoundland. This event provides an
opportunity for KARG to connect with our good friends at VO1TAC from the Hearts
Content Cable station. However it is unlikely that this event will go ahead
from the cable station, due to restrictions.
ILLW 2020, planned for 22nd & 23rd
Aug from the Cromwell Point Lighthouse on Valentia. While the ILLW event is not
cancelled, the decision to participate remains with clubs and individuals. At
this point, KARG are keeping an open mind on participation, but will decide
later based on Government and safety guidelines closer to those dates.
KARG 80M Net Weekly KARG
80M nets have resumed on Tuesday nights at 7.30pm local time on 3.650MHz. This net will provide an
opportunity for EIDXG Summer Challenge chasers to gain a point or two, while
also generating some on air activity. All are welcome to call in
