ON THE AIR: VO1AA SPECIAL EVENT TO CELEBRATE MARCONI
BIRTHDAY
On the air, the Society of Newfoundland Radio Amateurs will
be celebrating the birthday of inventor Guglielmo Marconi.
This, by operating station VO1AA on Wednesday, April 25th
and welcoming some special guest at the same time.
The club plans on making an amateur eadio contact with
Princess Elettra Marconi who will be in Bologna, Italy to
celebrate her father's birthday. On this side of the
Atlantic it is planned to have the Canadian Heritage
Minister, the City of St. John's Mayor along with the
Newfoundland Lieutenant Governor, exchange greetings with
the Princess via amateur radio from VO1AA which will be
located at the Cabot Tower.
This is the first time that this event has been attempted.
As such, it is anticipated that it may attain a high level
media exposure for amateur radio in Canada and possibly in
Italy as well. Marconi received the first wireless signal
at Signal Hill, Newfoundland.
