Members of the TOG Hackerspace and South Dublin Radio Club are no strangers to experimentation. Tinkerers, amateurs, makers and experimenters all find a welcome home in Dublin where the ham radio club station, EIØTOG, has its headquarters.

The radio operators are now working on yet another experiment - their first POTA Rover Day - in the hope of activating five POTA designated parks in a single UTC day, qualifying them for the POTA Rover Warthog Award.

Their shared daylong adventure is planned for Sunday the 31st of May. While they're not looking to bag an actual warthog - the tusks and tempers of these sub-Saharan mammals can be quite intimidating - they are going for five successful activations and as many QSOs as possible. As club members note on the TOG Hackerspace website: [quote] "This could be a great idea, or it could totally fall apart, but that is all part of the fun. Amateur radio has always had that experimental side to it, and a day like this has a real sense of adventure." [endquote] One ham plans to take the spirit of adventure to the extreme. He hopes to make the trip on his bicycle.

Be listening for EIØTOG and help them catch that warthog. This would not only be the first such award for the club, it would be the first warthog - wild or figurative - to actually find a habitat in the Republic of Ireland.
