The station was in a house in the High Street known as Pretoria Villa and its original purpose was to communicate with ships in the North Sea and the Cross Sands lightship. </p><p>On Saturday, the closest to Guglielmo Marconi's birthday, stations around the world are set up at sites with historical links to the inventor's work. These include Poldhu in England; Cape Cod Massachusetts; Glace Bay, Nova Scotia; Villa Griffone, Bologna, Italy and many others. </p><p>Visitors to the station including many other local radio amateurs and members of the public. </p><p>NARC public relation officer Steve Nichols, who organised the event, said: “Conditions weren’t brilliant due to a major solar disturbance, but we were still able to cross the Atlantic on three occasions.</p><p>“ We made contacts with other radio enthusiasts all over Europe and as far as Asiatic Russia using speech, Morse code and a new highly-efficient FT8 digital mode that Marconi could have only dreamed of.</p><p>“We never used more than 100 Watts power – about the same as an incandescent light bulb. </p><p>“ Our thanks go to Caister Lifeboat again for letting us set up the station.” </p><hr width="50%" noshade><p>The equipment used was 100W maximum from an Icom IC-7400 (20m) and an Icom IC-7300 (80/40/30m). Antennas were a W5GI dipole on 40m and G0KYA-designed monoband end-fed half-wave verticals for HF. The FT8 digital mode was used for the first time to show what can be worked with just 20-25W.</p><p><strong> About Norfolk Amateur Radio Club:<br></strong>The club has more than 100 members, a strong history dating back to the 1950s and has a very active calendar of talks, events, special event stations and courses. </p><p>It meets at 7.00pm on Wednesdays at the Sixth Form Common Room, City of Norwich School, Eaton Road, Norwich, Norfolk, NR4 6PP, with formal proceedings starting at 7.45pm. </p><p>The programme alternates weekly between talks or club challenges, and informal meetings with Morse tuition, electronic construction and “Bright Sparks” events for youngsters. </p></div>
