Commemorating a century since Braun and Marconi won the Nobel Prize

On 10 December 1909, both Braun and Marconi were given the Nobel Prize for physics for their efforts in wireless communication.

Long wave transmitter DDH47 of National Weather Service at Pinneberg in Germany will conduct a special broadcast from 9 December, 2300UTC until 10 December 0100UTC on 147.3kHz using 20kW.

Special slow Morse code transmissions will take place at the former silence periods of the maritime radio service, 15 to 18 past each hour and 45 to 48 minutes past each hour.

Using QRS3, which is one dot in 3 seconds, the names of famous wireless pioneers will be transmitted.

Reception reports from distant places are welcome. Amateurs may contact DL0PFB on the HF amateur bands.
