International Marconi Day 2009

Saturday, April 25th marks the 135th anniversary of the birth of Marconi.

To mark the occasion the Cornish Radio Amateur Club will be holding its 22nd annual International Marconi Day event and many stations with historic connections with Marconi will be active on that date.

This is not a contest but several classes of awards are available for making QSOs with the special Award Stations. There are also SWL awards to be claimed.

Ireland's Howth Martello Radio Group EI0MAR is an Award
Station and will be QRV during the event from the vintage radio museum in Howth.

This is a twenty-four hour event but EI0MAR will concentrate activities from 9am until 5pm local time, and visitors will be welcome during those hours.

To coincide with the special event, the North Dublin Radio Club will hold its weekly meeting at the same QTH from 8pm the same evening.

EI0MAR's web site is www.ei0mar.org.
