create duplicate event in iCal -- or repeating event every 3 hours

Hello,

Forgive me I'm afraid this is a very basic question.

I am trying to create a script which will create an event in ical with
a sound alarm, and then repeat the event 3 hours for a total of 3
times.

when i use this script, ical creates the event and alarm, but instead
of duplicating the event, it moves it to the time of the 2nd repeat.



____________
tell application "iCal"
	tell calendar "myCal"
		set theCurrentDate to current date

		set theEvent to make new event at end with properties
{description:"reminder", start date:theCurrentDate, end
date:theCurrentDate + 15 * minutes}

		tell theEvent
			make new sound alarm at end with properties {trigger interval:0}
		end tell

		duplicate theEvent with properties {start date:theCurrentDate + 3 * hours}

	end tell

end tell


___________


I'm sure its my logic, but i'd appreciate any tips so i can get this
working. i want to run a script and have it create 3 events on my
calendar, one at the current time and repeating every 3 hours.

TIA for any help.
