Maritime Radio Day 2014…looking forward…

Dear Sparks,

many of us sent on our Google Group very nice comments about the past Event to remember the Radio at Sea and the role of Radio Officers. We have now to look forward to push many other colleagues to take part at our yearly Event, this year there has been a massive partecipation with many colleagues not included in the list of partecipants and it has been a very nice surpirse against any prevision. There are still many Countries not reached by information about our Event and from U.S.A.  – unfortunately – still very few station. Radio Officers are the men spent their lives in front a receiver watching 500 kHz and sending messages of any kind, our Category has gone but we know many aspects of radio waves and we cannot refuse to look forward at least to confirm the radio is still alive and in good health, the problem perhaps is another, there are many reasons to kill the radio and they are not properly justified by true facts but only using the famous word “OBSOLETE” we hear everyday everywhere…so a little suggestion if you have to buy a car spending lots of money..please don’t do that, your car the day after of your purchase will be OBSOLETE, a good bycicle is a good investment, it will become OBSOLETE only when your legs will decide to run by foot….

Have a nice Easter Time and do not forget to send to R/O Rolf MARSCHNER your MRD Logs, he will be very happy to send you the Certificate of Partecipation, Rolf Address is: dl9cm@t-online.de
