Today is International Marconi Day

[N4ESS]

This is a resend of my earlier in the week email.  

 

Today is International Marconi Day. It always takes place each year on the
Saturday closest to his birthday, 25 April 1874.

 

Amateur radio operators around the world will be taking part in this day by
contacting many of the special events stations around the world.  You only
have to Google the event to find clubs all over the world taking part in
this event.  The Royal Society of Great Britain, RSGB, shows over 60 clubs
worldwide that have registered with them to take part in this event by
hosting special event stations.  Time to surf the web and find the stations
you would like to work and receive one of the special event certificates or
QSL cards.  Please take the time to get on the air, even if for a short
time, to support the effort of these clubs and help make their special
events station a success.
