castles, it was pillaged during the French revolution. In the 19th century

INTERNATIONAL MARCONI DAY -
Organized by the Cornish Radio Amateur Club, the International Marconi Day
(IMD)
is a 24-hour amateur radio event held annually to celebrate the birth
of
Guglielmo Marconi (25 April 1874). It is not a contest, but an opportunity
for
amateurs around the world to make contacts with historic Marconi sites
using HF
communications techniques. This year's event will be held on 20 April,
from
00.00 UTC through 23.59 UTC. Details, including information on the relevant
Awar
d Certificates and the listing of participating stations, can be found
at
www.gb4imd.org.uk/

XE1L, Luis Chartarifsky, died of a major heart attack earlier this week.
He was
69. Luis had just returned from the TX5K Clipperton Island DXpedition
earlier
this month. He was known around the world with his wonderful smile and
friendly
attitude. XE1L had 338/352 (current/total) confirmed in the ARRL DXCC
Mixed
standings. "Luis was a major DXpeditioner (see his qrz.com page) and a
true
gentleman" remembers G3SXW, Roger Western. Aside from being a DXer,
Contester
and a DXpeditioner Luis enjoyed traveling and as such was part of
many
DXpeditions, including: 3Y0PI, 9M0M, 9N7MD, S07L, TX5K, TZ6RM, W4T
(NA-079),
XF4L, XR0Y, XR0Z and XZ0A just to name a few. Luis was by no surprise a
member
of the A-1 Operators Club. Many who have attended Dayton, and I am sure
other
events, have photos of Luis with his always pleasant outlook of life.
Mexico
and the Amateur Radio community have lost a wonder friend.
73 and Good DX Amigo!
