"So just how does this danged thing work ??" |

There's only the cold Atlantic Ocean beyond the Coast Guard station |
"And that's about all I'm allowed to look at !" |

These superb shots were taken by Bob Doherty (K1VV) - except for his own portrait ! - on 18th January 2001 when the Club celebrated the 98th Anniversary of Marconi's first transatlantic link with Poldhu in Cornwall, England. |

IMD 2009 KM1CC will operate from inside a Coast Guard Station (with electricity) and portable from the historic Marconi Site in South Wellfleet, MA USA. Since KM1CC will operate from 2 locations, the plan is to use the call KM1CC at our main operating site while the portable stations use both KM1CC/CC and KM1CC/IMD. I am fortunate that many operators want to participate and be part of the IMD KM1CC operation, thus the reason for the different calls. All QSL cards should be sent to KM1CC.
