HISTORIC MARCONI IRISH TOUR ---> In 1898, Gugliemo Marconi received the first
commercial opportunity for his newly invented wireless telegraph apparatus
and established a wireless link for shipping between Ballycastle and Rathlin
Island. In 1907, Marconi's dream of fixed point-to-point wireless telegraph
stations linking Europe and North America became a reality. The stations were
located at Derrygimla near Clifden, and at Glace Bay, Nova Scotia.
To commemorate these significant events, Hal, W8HC will operate as GI/W8HC/p
from Ballycastle on 4-5 August (he will be also taking part in the annual
Marconi Festival at Ballycastle with the Marconi Radio Group's MN0MRG special
event station). On 6 August Hal will go and operate from East Lighthouse
(ARLS NTI-011) on Rathlin Island (EU-122). On 9-10 August he will be active
as EI/W8HC/p from the Derrygimla site, and possibly from nearby Letterfrack,
site of an ancillary receive station built in 1912. Logs will be uploaded to
LoTW and special QSLs from each of these historic Marconi locations will be
printed and sent via GlobalQSL (www.globalqsl.com). In addition, a specially
designed certificate will be issued to those stations making contact with
both GI and EI operations from either Ballycastle or Rathlin and Derrygimla
or Letterfrack. In keeping with the historic connection, all QSOs from these
locations will be CW only. [TNX W8HC]
