Tomorrow, April 25, 2024, will be the 150th anniversary of G. Marconi’s birth.<\/p>\n

[…]I’ve just published an article on the Radio Club du Perche website in which I’ve included a few references to English-language sites : http:\/\/radioclub.perche.free.fr\/?p=12658<\/a><\/p>\n

The Poldhu Amateur Radio Club (UK) will be marking the event.<\/p>\n

Finally, I’ve discovered a site which, since April 1, lists the amateur stations broadcasting on this occasion : https:\/\/www.150marconi.org\/<\/a>
