The North Dublin Radio Club was founded in 1973 as the north city developed and expanded.  The first meeting place or "radio shack" was at the back of the Esso Service Station at the Artane Roundabout.  In later years the Club met in the premises of the Irish Wheelchair Association Clontarf.  Since 1992 the Club enjoys the use of extensive facilities in Chanel College.

The Club maintains and operates High Frequency (short wave) and VHF transmitters using a full size G5RV antenna. On VHF/UHF we have both vertical and Yagi beam antennae.

Morse and radio theory courses are available for members, and newcomers, wishing to obtain a Radio Experimenters License.
Morse is no longer a requirement to access HF (short wave) bands as of 2003.

A library of radio related material is maintained by the Club.  The contents are useful to both the beginner and experienced alike, containing material on most aspects of radio, including construction projects on receivers, transmitters and antennae.  Information on component data and source reference manuals are available. Current and back issues of popular radio magazines are available to view.  Non members are welcome to use the library.
