                     Special event
                                   station KM1CC will be on the air
January 11-19,
                                   2003, to mark the 100th anniversary
of Guglielmo
                                   Marconi's inaugural wireless
transmission between the
                                   US and Great Britain January 18, 1903
(January 19
                                   UTC). On that date, from the sandy
Cape Cod cliffs
                                   overlooking the Atlantic,
Marconi--using a powerful
                                   (35 kW) rotary spark transmitter
coupled to a massive
                                   antenna system-- transmitted a
54-word greeting from
                                   President Theodore Roosevelt to
England's King
                                   Edward VII. The monarch promptly
acknowledged
                                   receipt of the message via land line
and cable, literally
                                   igniting the spark of global
communication.
