[CW] Jack Binns Recap W1AA/MKC & W1AA/BC

[David Ring]

Here is an update from the W1AA/MKC and W1AA/BC activity.

To All ..  Jack Binns 100th Anniversary of the First Wireless Rescue at Sea
in 1909.

Recap from W1AA the Marconi Radio Club of Massachusetts USA ..   We used two
call signs ... W1AA/MKC for the SS Republic
and W1AA/BC for the SS Baltic .... Two stations were in operation from 0000Z
to 0300z ... and 1200Z to 2000Z ....
The KW station with a beam at 70 feet was on 20 meter phone during the
complete period...  the 100 watt station with a 33 foot vertical wire
antenna was on 30 meters on CW and 40 phone and CW ....This vertical truck
antenna has been used
portable when operating at lighthouses in our area. The stations changed the
call signs at the top of the hour so both calls signs would have the benefit
of the KW station ....
Photo QSL cards of the ships were created for W1AA/MKC and W1AA/BC......
If stations contacted both W1AA/MKC and W1AA/BC they qualified to receive a
Jack Binns certificate from
the Marconi Radio Club.

A local area cable TV station came by and took video of our Jack Binns
operation for future viewing on cable TV.

Our 20 meter SSB station had contacts with   GB2IWM, GB5CQD,  GX0MWT,
KM1CC

We wish thank our Operators K1RV and K1WCC .....those who battled the pile
up to work us ....and everyone else
who worked so hard to make the celebration of this historic wireless
milestone a success.
