The Marconi Radio Club W1AA click here for pictures will celebrate the 98th Anniversary of Guglielmo Marconi's First Transatlantic Radio Transmission between Cape Cod Massachusetts and England. The Marconi Radio Club will operate from Cape Cod using the call sign W1AA/CC. "CC" was Marconi's first call sign for his transatlantic Cape Cod Station long before the existence of the FCC and issuing of call signs.
The Marconi Radio Club will operate two High Frequency amateur radio stations on CW and Voice. Hours of planned operation are from 1200Z through 2200Z, January 18, 2001 on the 20 through 10 meter bands. DX stations QSL via the W1 Bureau and W/K stations to the W1AA Callbook address with an S.A.S.E. Operation will be from a former Coast Guard Life Boat Station close to the original 1903 Marconi Transatlantic Radio Station site within the National Sea Shore Park, as almost all of the original 1903 Marconi station site has been carried away by beach erosion.
