WMARS has adopted the Marconi Conference center as it's first major public service project. The conference center is situated at the site of Marconi's west coast radio center, dating back to the early 1900s this was literally the cradle of modern radio communication. While many of the buildings remain, most of the historical electrical infrastructure has been lost. It is the goal of the West Marin Amateur Radio society to help preserve knowledge of this pivotal time in world history.
On February 15,1998 we began our explorations by viewing the few remaining pieces of radio equipment on site. You can view a short quicktime movie of this field trip here:
WMARS will also be conducting Field Day operations from the Marconi Conference Center. Stay tuned to this web site for updates on this project, including information on how you can obtain a commerative QSL card from this special event.
