[Premium-Rx] [Fwd: Marconi Centennial Historic Events Today]

[Arthur Shulman]

May I draw your attention to today's commemoration of Marconi's historic
transatlantic transmission 100 years ago of a personal message from
president Roosevelt to King Edward VII.

The story appears in today's edition of the Toronto Star, (courtesy of
the Associated Press), at
http://www.thestar.com/NASApp/cs/ContentServer?pagename=thestar/Layout/Article_Type1&c=Article&cid=1035776771750&call_pageid=968332188492&col=968705899037

The Marconi Radio Club will be marking the event with two 160-6m
stations operating through the weekend. According to the Star's report,
they expect to make 10,000 contacts during the period. IRLP, ECHOLINK,
and Streaming Audio, as well as digital modes are supported.

Frequencies and modes are detailed at the following link:

Amateur operators are invited to contact W1AA on the appropriate
frequencies. All interested parties are invited to listen in.
