"KM1CC MARCONI WIRELESS CENTENNIAL - January 11-19, 2003
Celebrating The 100th Anniversary of Guglielmo Marconi's First Wireless
transmission between the United States and Europe on January 11 - 19, 2003.
From atop high, sandy cliffs overlooking the Atlantic, Marconi transmitted
a simple, 54-word greeting from President Theodore Roosevelt to Great
Britain's King Edward VII. Within hours, the King acknowledged receiving
the message, and the spark of global communications was lit.
The Marconi Radio Club, W1AA, and the Marconi Cape Cod Memorial Radio Club,
KM1CC, working in partnership with the National Park Service at Cape Cod
National Seashore, will operate a Special Event station from January 11-19
at the former Coast Guard station at Coast Guard Beach in Eastham,
Massachusetts, from near the site of the original Marconi 1903 Station.
From 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. each day, the public will be able to tour the
station, listen to voice and Morse Code discussions with other radio
operators around the world, and learn about wireless technology and the
significance of Marconi's achievement. For Details See:
