Signal reports are welcomed by the newsreaders after the bulletins, as are reports from SWLs - who can send an email to

swlreportsthe at signirts.ie
where they will be read out during and after the news.
Members are asked to contribute to the news service by passing on items of interest to the IRTS News Service.  In particular, club secretaries are asked to keep the News Service informed of events run by their clubs.
