In Brief...

Princess Elettra Marconi has been invited to take part in a May 31 ham radio contact with Newfoundland during a visit to Cape Cod National Seashore. The contact will be between KM1CC on the Cape and VO1AA at the Society of Newfoundland Radio Amateurs (SONRA) club in St. John's, Newfoundland. Chris Hillier, VO1IDX, will serve as net control, KM1CC Trustee Barbara Dougan, N1NS, told ARRL. "Someone from KM1CC will stay on the air with VO1AA, should the Princess need to depart, then after, KM1CC can take calls from others [wanting] to contact KM1CC in grid FN51." The plan is to use 14.224 MHz SSB on or around 1645 - 1700 UTC. It was at St. John's in 1901 that Guglielmo Marconi, using a kite-supported antenna, received the letter "S" from his station in Poldhu, Cornwall. -- Thanks to KM1CC Trustee Barbara Dougan, N1NS
