Amateur Radio & Connected Tech at Dublin Tech Week 2026
South Dublin Radio Club , in collaboration with TOG Hackerspace, will be taking part in Dublin Tech Week 2026 with a free, family-friendly drop-in event at Ballyroan Library . Amateur Radio & Connected Tech: Making the Invisible Visible will explore how radio and wireless technology connect people, devices and even space. The event takes place on Saturday, 23rd May 2026 , from 12:00 to 16:00 . Visitors will be able to explore a range of short, hands-on demos throughout the day, including live radio spectrum displays, Morse code, digital radio modes, satellite signals, simple IoT workflows and more. There will also be a beginner-friendly radio “fox hunt”, a fun direction-finding game where participants use radio signals to track down a hidden transmitter. It is a great way to learn how radio waves move through the world around us. We will also be showing how modern amateur radio can be operated remotely, with a station in Dublin controlling radio equipment elsewhere over the internet. If conditions allow, we hope to make a live HF radio contact and speak with operators further afield. No radio knowledge is needed, just curiosity. Drop in, ask questions, try a few demos and discover the invisible signals all around us.
