GB6GEO on the air again for the 2nd Global Geoparks Communication
Event - 23/24th May 2009

Again this year "GB6GEO" will be on the air during the weekend of
23/24th May 2009 from Kents Cavern Prehistoric Caves in Torquay,
Devon, UK as part of the European Geoparks Festival week, along with
other Geopark stations operating from England, Scotland, Wales,
N.Ireland, Portugal, Malaysia, Australia, Greece, France and other
many other participating countries yet to be confirmed.

There will be many other attractions at the Torquay Kents Cavern site,
including Cave Radio, Satellite Communications, Amateur TV and paying
tribute to a local Devonshire man Oliver Heaviside, a scientist who
discovered the Heaviside Layer in radio propagation. There will also
be a number of scouting groups doing their communications badges, and
a chance to send greetings to other Geoparks around the world. The
event at Torquay will be run by the combination of the Torbay Amateur
Radio Society and the West Devon Radio Club, in conjunction with Nick
Powe, proprietor of Kents Cavern and Chairman of the English Riviera
Geopark.

Kents Cavern is famous internationally for its remarkable history of
ancient human occupation going back more than 500,000 years. It is an
English Protected National Monument, International Prehistoric Show
cave and a gateway to UNESCO's English Riviera Global Geopark.

Nick Powe says "The geological heritage and associated rich cultural
heritage of this well known seaside resort on the South West coast of
England always surprises people who first visit. Famous in the past as
a traditional English seaside resort, the area now has a lot more to
offer today's visitors. With a growing reputation for good food,
hospitality and quality leisure experiences, the UNESCO endorsed
English Riviera Global Geopark gives the area a golden opportunity to
attract new visitors not just from the UK but also from overseas. This
2nd Global Geopark Communication will again give visitors to Kents
Cavern in the English Riviera Geopark an opportunity to feel connected
not only to the fantastic geological heritage of this coastal area but
to that of some other amazing landscapes around the world."

Visitors over the weekend will be able to exchange greetings and will
receive a souvenir certificate recording the station they spoke to.
