INTERNATIONAL MARCONI DAY ---> Organized by the Cornish Radio Amateur Club,
the International Marconi Day (IMD) is a 24-hour amateur radio event held
annually to celebrate the birth of Guglielmo Marconi (25 April 1874). It is
not a contest, but an opportunity for amateurs around the world to make
contacts with historic Marconi sites using HF communications techniques.
This year's event will be held on 30 April, from 00.00 UTC through 23.59
UTC. Details, including information on the relevant Award Certificates and
the listing of participating stations, can be found at www.gb4imd.org.uk
IOTA 50TH ANNIVERSARY MARATHON ---> The year 2014 marks the 50th
anniversary of the launch of the Islands On The Air (IOTA) Programme by
British SWL Geoff Watts, BRS-3129. To celebrate the occasion, the RSGB IOTA
Manager and Committee announce an exciting activity period in which all
licensed amateurs world-wide are invited to participate.
For a two-year period (from 00.00 UTC 1 January 2012 until 23.59 UTC 31
December 2013), IOTA chasers are encouraged to contact as many different
IOTA groups as possible, and IOTA activators to play their part by
operating from as many groups as possible, with special emphasis on the
less-frequently activated ones.
Certificates and awards will be available to both 'Chasers' and
'Activators' to reflect attainment of graduated bands of performance
together with attractive prizes for top scorers. The challenge provides a
level playing field for everyone, because everyone starts with a clean
slate on 1 January 2012.
The full rules of the IOTA 50th Anniversary Marathon can be found on
G3KMA's website (www.g3kma.dsl.pipex.com) and soon on the RSGB IOTA website
(www.rsgbiota.org).

encourages those who need a card from him to bypass pilferers by using

(www.shacklog.co.uk/RoyalWedding.htm) containing all the Royal Wedding

is to help clarify which special calls are QRV from which DXCC Entity.
