International Marconi Day will take place on Saturday 28 April this year. Although the event is not a contest, participants can qualify for award certificates by contacting special stations. These stations must operate on or close to a site where Guglielmo Marconi carried out experiments or where Marconi equipment was used prior to his death in 1937.
If you would like to operate one of these special award stations, it is essential that you register the station by emailing webmaster@gb4imd.org.uk prior to the event with full details of the station. Further information can be found on the web at www.gb4imd.org.uk [Tnx RSGB News] (I.C.P.O. Bulletin January 11 - 19, 2007).
