    Galway harbour uses channel 12 (156.600MHz), channel 16 (156.800 MHz) would be worth monitoring too.

    Also somewhere on 4MHz, the frequency db website has it listed.

    From IRTS news
    Volvo Ocean Yacht Race

    The Galway Radio Experimenters Club has a Special Event
    call sign for the Volvo Ocean Yacht Race, which visits
    Galway from May 23rd 2009 to June 6th 2009. E I 0 9 V O
    R (Echo India Zero Nine Victor Oscar Romeo) will be on
    the air through out the festival from the old
    lighthouse on Mutton Island, the finish line for stage
    7 of the race.

    They will be QRV on HF, SSB and CW also monitoring the
    local repeater R1 (145.625mhz, IRLP Node 5682). Mutton
    Island lighthouse was built in 1817 and was in
    operation until December 1977. Recently a restoration
    project was undertaken by Galway Civic Trust with the
    help of FÁS to preserve this wonderful landmark.

    The Galway Radio Experimenters Club would like to thank
    Mr Jim Higgins, Heritage Officer with Galway City
    Council, for his help and support.
