CARRIGTWOHILL, CO. CORK – In County Cork, Ireland, the Cork Radio Club (operating under callsigns including EI5CRC and EI1C) exemplifies the adaptive capacity of community organisations in an increasingly digital landscape. While traditionally associated with a physical meeting space at the Community Centre in Carrigtwohill, the club, as of an update in late February 2025, primarily convenes its meetings on the Zoom platform. This shift to virtual assembly reflects a pragmatic approach to maintaining member engagement and operational continuity.
Affiliated with the Irish Radio Transmitters Society (IRTS), the national body for amateur radio in Ireland, the Cork Radio Club thus sustains its activities and connections within the broader amateur community. Individuals interested in participating in these online gatherings or seeking further information about the club's activities are advised to make direct contact with the club to obtain the necessary details for joining their virtual sessions.
This operational model, while currently favouring digital interaction over physical meet-ups at its traditional Carrigtwohill venue, ensures that the Cork Radio Club remains an accessible and active entity for radio enthusiasts in the region. It highlights a contemporary method by which specialist interest groups can leverage readily available technology to foster community and share knowledge, irrespective of the constraints or preferences that might affect in-person gatherings.
