"International Marconi Day"
B.A.R.S. is always active as GB4MDI
The event is very popular on a world wide basis as Flatholm Island in the Bristol Channel is the point to which Mr. G. Marconi made the first successful wireless transmission over water from Lavernock Point in South Wales on 13th May 1897.
Barry Amateur Radio Society makes an annual trip to Flatholm Island to pay homage to Marconi and his success and the subsequent outcome of amateur radio.
The club operates under the callsign GB5FI and we anticipate being operational on all HF bands and modes including SSTV. In addition subject to resources VHF / UHF ( 70cm and 2metres) and possibly via an amateur radio satellite link. |
