NEW AMP WINS PRESTIGIOUS I.R.T.S. AWARD

My new amp project won one of the I.R.T.S.'s construstion award at their recent AGM in Limerick,which was hosted by the Limerick radio club.
My project was awarded the Folan Shield.
The award gets its name from Professor Enda Folan EI6W, who was President of the Irish Radio Transmitter Society from 1958 to 1960,  EI 6 W presented this shield to the Society.  It is awarded for home constructed equipment built to the highest standard and a technical write-up including the specification of the item is required.  The shield was first presented in 1959 to T.J. McCrossan EI7A.
In the pictures below you will see the award and the amp.






































I was also awarded the Kevin Freeny Trophy
The Fingal and North Dublin Radio Clubs donated this trophy to the Society in memory of the late Kevin Freeny EI9BMB.  The trophy is awarded for proficiency in equipment construction.  It was first awarded in 1988 to Dave Redmond EI2GB.
Below is some pictures of this award and project.
