POTA adventure on the high seas!

Tog is teaming up with South Dublin Radio Club for another Parks on the Air activation, this time from Ireland’s Eye, just off Howth.

On Sunday 21st June, we’ll travel by ferry to the island.

The east side of the island gives us a nice “2fer”, with both references available from the same activation area.

We plan to be active on 20m, 40m and 2m, conditions permitting.

I think it’s pretty cool that Ireland, a country that’s not exactly renowned for its amount of sun - especially this time of year, is generating 576 MW of solar energy right now.

That’s a decent amount of power and looking outside in Dublin, it’s still somewhat cloudy.

PS that’s on top of the 3100 MW of wind power, that’s probably more expected :-).

We’re delighted to share that TOG Hackerspace has received funding from As Darragh Did, a charity that supports community participation and inclusion across Ireland.

This will help us run a new programme of creative, accessible workshops and projects that will be perfect for people who’ve never tried making before and long-time members alike.

Thank you to As Darragh Did and to everyone in the TOG community 🧡

Did you break anything over Christmas?

Now is your chance to fix them. Our first Repair Café of 2026 is on Sunday 18 January, 12:00–16:00, supported by @DublinMaker.

Bring clothes, toys, small electrical appliances, electronics, small furniture and similar items. Sit with a fixer, open things up together and see if we can give them a second life.
