This is old news anyway, as Ireland's ComReg changed the licence a few years ago from "experimenters" to "amateur radio"
Almost in step with the rest of the world ;-)

Mal, sounds like you are OK in Eire  :-)

If I recall correctly, licences for the Irish Experimenters Service were issued under the ITU regulations applicable to the Amateur Service.

You refer to Amateur to Amateur QSO in your postings. My EI2AE licence is a Radio Experimenters Licence and NOT a Radio Amateur Licence, maybe i should not be having QSO’S with Radio Amateurs.

One has to be flexible and use some imagination when it comes to Radio Experimenters and Radio Amateur Licences, and variations of such Licences
