ARLA/CLUSTER: International Marconi Day a 30 de Abril.

[João Gonçalves Costa]

International Marconi Day takes place this year on Saturday 30th April. The Howth Martello Radio Group will be participating once again as an award station using the call-sign EI0MAR. 

This is not a contest but there are several nice awards available for working the officially listed stations, each of which has an historic connection with Marconi.
 
The event is organised by the Cornish Amateur Radio Club. 

For more information please visit the club's website

EI0MAR operates from the Martello Tower overlooking the East Pier in Howth. The tower now houses a vintage radio museum. In 1905 the British Post Office carried out wireless telegraphy experiments at the tower in Howth using Marconi equipment. 

Visitors are always welcome at the museum and the group hopes to see many visitors during the IMG event in April. The HMRG's website is www.ei0mar.org where a free information booklet in PDF format can be downloaded. 

The North Cork Radio Group are pleased to announce that they will be active from the Marconi Signal Station at Goleen, Mizen Head, West Cork, where Marconi sent many of his first test transmissions to America. 

Further details will be posted nearer the event, however, please pencil the day free if you'd like to attend or work the station. The Official call sign for the event will be EI0IMD and it is hoped we will be excepted on the official International Marconi Day Awards Program.
