/International/: Special Event Stations to Mark International Marconi Day

A few dozen special event stations will take to the air on Saturday, 
April 26, from 0000 UTC to 2359 UTC, to commemorate International 
Marconi Day <http://g4usb.net/IMD/the-award/award-classes/>. Among them 
will be GB4IMD, in Cornwall, England; OE14M, in Vienna, Austria; IY0IMD 
in Italy; VO1AA, on Signal Hill in St Johns, Newfoundland; VK2IMD in 
Australia, and WA1WCC on Cape Cod, Massachusetts. All stations planning 
to participate are urged to register <http://g4usb.net/IMD/imd-2014/>.

OE14M is among the special event stations that will be on the air for 
International Marconi Day.

International Marconi Day is a 24-hour Amateur Radio event held annually 
to celebrate the birth of Guglielmo Marconi on April 15, 1874. IMD is 
held each year on a Saturday close to Marconi's birthday, with Amateur 
Radio stations on the air from around the world, including Award 
Stations <http://g4usb.net/IMD/award-stations/> operating from 
historically significant sites.

The event is not a contest; it is an opportunity for amateurs around the 
world to make point-to-point contact with historic Marconi sites using 
HF communication techniques similar to those used by Marconi, and to 
earn an award certificate for working or hearing a requisite number of 
Marconi stations. /-- Thanks to /The Daily DX
