        KM1CC
             MARCONI WIRELESS CENTENNIAL ? January 11-19, 2003
Celebrating The 100th Anniversary of Guglielmo Marconi?s First Wireless 
transmission between the United States and Europe on January 11 ? 19, 2003.

 

 From atop high, sandy cliffs overlooking the Atlantic, Marconi 
transmitted a simple, 54-word greeting from President Theodore Roosevelt 
to Great Britain?s King Edward VII. Within hours, the King acknowledged 
receiving the message, and the spark of global communications was lit. 

 

The Marconi Radio Club, W1AA, and the Marconi Cape Cod Memorial Radio 
Club, KM1CC, working in partnership with the National Park Service at 
Cape Cod National Seashore, will operate a Special Event station from 
January 11-19 at the former Coast Guard station at Coast Guard Beach in 
Eastham, Massachusetts, from near the site of the original Marconi 1903 
Station. From 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. each day, the public will be able 
to tour the station, listen to voice and Morse Code discussions with 
other radio operators around the world, and learn about wireless 
technology and the significance of Marconi?s achievement.  For Details
