located in the West of Ireland. Our pursuits include, but are not
limited to, operation in the Amateur Radio Emergency Network, Field
Days, Radio Sport, Construction Projects, Data Transmission, Digital Voice Transmission which includes: Digital Mobile Radio (DMR), Yaesu Fusion (C4FM), D-Star, and P25. Amateur Television, LF - SHF Communications and the Study of Radio
Theory in General.
Clearly, it can be seen, from our blog-posts, that we are involved in many projects promoting and serving the wider Amateur Radio demographic. As a group, we are more than willing to share our knowledge and our doors are always open to new members. Whether having an interest in Radio, a Licenced Amateur Radio Operator or an individual with an interest in Electronics or Computers, all are welcomed to attend.
We strive to provide a service to >>ALL<< Radio Amateurs in our community by placing Repeaters and Gateways on air to facilitate extended communications for mobile and portable operators on a local and worldwide basis. We will advise and assist any groups wishing to place equipment on the air.
Our projects are continuously updated and, in keeping with modern technology, we have established a DMR Repeater and a Multi-Mode Digital Gateway on a high site situated at the west side of Galway City.
A Yaesu Fusion Wires-X Gateway has been established in the Salthill area for those wishing to experiment with the networking facilities on Wires-X. All Radio Amateurs are welcomed to use these facilities. Thie system will complement the EI2TBR Fusion Repeater.
Our DMR Network consists of four DMR Repeaters located in County Galway. This should result in 95% coverage of the County with a spillover coverage into adjacent Counties. There is a multi-mode Repeater and a D-Star repeater ready to be located on a high spot when we can find a free location. There will good coverage of the Mayo, Galway and Clare Wild Atlantic Way.
The Galway VHF group holds two Club Callsigns which may be operated by non-licensed members, under supervision, during many of our activities and portable operations.
