ARLA/CLUSTER: EI5IMD estação especial para o Dia Internacional de Marconi desde a antiga estação Marconi no Reino Unido

[João Costa > CT1FBF]

EI5IMD on Brow Head for Marconi Day on 26 April

Marconi’s wireless station on Brow Head near Crookhaven in West Cork
operated from 1901 to 1914, handling message traffic between ship owners
and ships arriving from North America. The station was so busy
that it operated around the clock with six operators working in shifts.

2014 is the 100th anniversary of the station's closure, and *Cork Radio
Club* members are QRV from the site on Saturday, 26th April for *International
Marconi Day*. This is an annual worldwide special event that celebrates the
great man on a Saturday near his birthday, which is 25th April 1874.

*EI5IMD* will operate two stations on CW and SSB, and possibly a third on
digi modes. We hope to get more EIs and GIs in the log this year than
before, so please call. The track up to the site is steep and narrow, and
parking is tight on top but anyone is welcome to visit operations on the
day.
