900 International Marconi Day Contacts

The Norfolk Amateur Radio Club (NARC) ran the all-day event to commemorate Caister's original Marconi Wireless Station, which was established in 1900.

The station was in a house in the High Street known as Pretoria Villa and its original purpose was to communicate with ships in the North Sea and the Cross Sands lightship.

NARC normally operates from Caister Lifeboat, but due to the Covid restrictions the amateurs operated from their own home stations this year.

Amplitude Modulation Amateur Radio Society

/

Amplitude Modulation Amateur Radio Society has been formed.

The aim of the society is to promote the use of the original voice mode using vintage, modern and homebrew equipment on all the amateur bands available to us. We shall also strive to promote the AM mode to the National and International societies to ensure the mode is supported for future generations.

The initial work to set up this new society has been undertaken by Kevin GW0PUH, Alan G6RBM, Mark MW0RZS, John G3YPZ and Simon MW0NWM. We are planning to organise a quarterly club newsletter, two annual weekend AM activity events, AM contests and construction events. We plan to join the RSGB and other national societies based on where our members live.

We shall be holding our first AGM on Wednesday 21st July at 19:00 UTC (20:00 BST) on Zoom.

So we have lots of plans, but to make a success of this we need members to help support this work and make the club successful!
