Dear Radio Operator:

With the advent of the mobile phone, Marconi's revolution has come full
circle. After his initial successful experiment in transmitting wireless
messages from one point to another, he established himself in 1903 in Cape
Cod, Massachusetts, when he transmitted a letter from America to England and
back, wherein His Majesty exchanged greetings with President Roosevelt.

In 2003, during the centennial celebration of that event, Princess Elettra
Marconi, daughter of Mr. Marconi, together with a high school science
student, spoke on their personal phone with an American astronaut orbiting
the earth. One hundred years earlier, Nobel Prize winner Marconi had
recounted how one day individuals on earth and in outer space would be
communicating with one another, wirelessly.

The Dante University of America Foundation is proud to present the biography
of Mr. Marconi as told by his wife and daughter: Marconi My Beloved.  Click

The Foundation is also proud to announce that the first lesson of the online
Italian Conversation Course is now available, free to Radio Amateurs, and
that Lesson 2 will soon be online.

 Best wishes!
