EI100MCV

*EI100MCV* is the call sign that has been issued by ComReg to the Maritime
Museum Radio Club in Dúnlaoghaire for the year 2018. The call sign which
includes the letters of the original call sign ‘MCV’of the RMS Leinster is
to commemorate the Centenary of the sinking of the RMS Leinster in the
Irish Sea on 10 October 1918 just a month before the end of World War 1.
This was, and still is, the single largest loss of life in the Irish Sea
with a total of 567 people lost. The ship was torpedoed by a U Boat just 25
kilometres off the Irish coast. To add to the tragedy the U Boat involved
was sunk two weeks later with the loss of all thirty six crew. All were
very young with the oldest being just 27 years old.

The call sign can be used throughout the year 2018 by all members of the
Maritime Museum Radio Club *and by any other licensed EI amateur radio
operator who would like to commemorate this historic centenary*. The event
is being coordinated by Dave O’Connor EI6AL who has acted in this capacity
for many similar events, most recently the Wild Atlantic Way initiative.

Operators who wish to use the call sign should *contact Dave at dave.ei6al
/at/ gmail.com <http://gmail.com>* Anyone who operates the call must
forward an ADIF log by email to Dave EI6AL. Dave will maintain a master log
and will do the necessary upload to Clublog. We hope that many operators
will avail of the opportunity to use this unique call sign and give
extensive coverage to this important centenary.
