Dozens of official "award stations" have registered to take part in
the 2017 International Marconi Day (IMD) event, this year being held
on April 22, 0000-2359 UTC (starting on April 21 in US time zones).
All contacts counting toward the Marconi Award must be made on HF
with registered stations, but other participating stations do not
need to be registered to claim awards. This year marks the 30th IMD,
held each year to mark the anniversary of wireless pioneer Guglielmo
Marconi's birth on April 25, 1874. IMD is observed each year on a
Saturday close to Marconi's birthday. Many special event stations -
some operating from Marconi-related sites - will be on the air.
Marconi Award certificates are available for both transmitting
stations and shortwave listeners (SWLs).

This weekend is the event. Much like the
National Parks On The Air last year, this
event gives you an opportunity to get out
into nature and work some portable
operations. Whether you plan on going to
the state park just to make some contacts
or you are taking your family on a camping
trip and want to make a few on the side,
this weekend is the prefect weekend for
that if you live in Texas.
