Cork Radio Club is QRV from Brow Head in West Cork on Saturday, 26 April 2014 for International Marconi Day. This celebrates the birth of Guglielmo Marconi (25 April 1874), considered by most to be the father of modern radio communications. His wireless station was established in 1901 on this exposed site that is constantly buffeted by winds (for proof, see the short video at the very bottom of this page). Our first activation of Brow Head for International Marconi Day was in 1995.



Any visitor to Brow Head will immediately understand why the great man chose this place as the site of his western-most European wireless station in 1901. Climbing up the steep 2-mile track from the unbelievably scenic village of Crookhaven, one arrives at an exposed headland 100m above sea level with tremendous sea vistas, the Fastnet Rock Lighthouse about 15 nautical miles to the southeast (pictured above), and great takeoffs to the southeast and Europe, and to the southwest towards North America. Because of Brow Head's location as the first landfall for ships arriving from the Americas, it was the ideal site for communicating with them. Also located on this site are a Martello tower (the site of Marconi's station at least at the start of his time on Brow Head) and the remains of a signaling station used by Lloyds in the early 1800s to communicate with ships via flags and semaphore.



In 1901, Marconi set up his wireless station. In the summer of 1901 he received strong signals from Poldhu in Cornwall which proved that wireless signals did not in fact travel in straight lines but bent to the curvature of the earth. This convinced Marconi that it would be possible to span the Atlantic with wireless--which he did late in that same year. With more and more ships being fitted with wireless, the station was very busy with two operators on duty around the clock. The station at Brow Head was used by Marconi's Wireless Telegraph Company Ltd until 1914 and continued to be used by the Royal Navy until its destruction in 1922 by anti-treaty forces during the civil war. Pictured above is a concrete antenna base, one of several on the Brow Head site. Marconi's daughter, Princess Elettra, unveiled a commemorative plaque on the site on 23 July 1998, but alas it has been removed by persons unknown.
The village of Crookhaven was a communication centre for shipping long before Marconi arrived. Paul Julius Reuter, founder of what became the Reuters news agency, built a telegraph line to Cork which was opened in 1863. He used the steamer Marseilles to go out and meet the ships travelling from America. It was via Crookhaven that Europe first learned of many events in the American Civil War. Reuter's operation also enabled him to cable ships' arrival times and cargo details etc to the shipping companies. During this time, Crookhaven's post and telegraph office was so busy that it operated 24 hours a day.



Marconi brought six men from Britain to operate his new facility, and of particular note among them was Arthur Nottage (pictured above). Having previously worked for the London & North-Eastern Railway as a Morse code operator, at the age of 20 Arthur Nottage moved to Crookhaven and became Marconi's first signaler/telegrapher at Brow Head for the princely wage of �1 per week. He took up lodgings at the Welcome Inn and soon fell in love with its proprietress, the widow Mrs Thomas Notter. Arthur Nottage later married Hannah Notter. An entry in his journal (excerpt pictured below) records that he 'took over Marconi Wireless station Saturday 10pm Dec 17th 1904.' When Marconi moved his wireless station from Brow Head to Valentia Island, County Kerry in 1914, Arthur chose to stay in Crookhaven. In the early 1920s he and his wife purchased the Welcome Inn and 'Daddy' Nottage, as he was known locally, continued to beguile his customers with party tricks and riddles up to his death in 1974. He is pictured above in 1961 at the door of the Welcome Inn--still serving pints today--during the making of the MGM film 'I Thank a Fool' in Crookhaven and Brow Head. Arthur Nottage is fondly remembered by many to this day.



Ei5IMD is QRV for 24 hours on International Marconi Day. Weather permitting, two stations will be operated using CW and SSB modes. A third station operating PSK31 wil be QRV if conditions and operators permit. Bands will include 80, 40, 20, 17, 15, 12 and 10 meters. Locator of the site is IO51ck and WAI square is Cork V77.
Ei5IMD is an award station recognised by the Cornish Radio Amateur Club as operating from the actual site of an original Marconi station. Transmitting stations having contact with 10 to 20 IMD award stations can qualify for the International Marconi Day Award certificate. Further details are to be found at www.gb4imd.com.
The Cork Radio Club would like to thank the people of Crookhaven for welcoming us and supporting our activities on Brow Head. In particular we would like to thank John Walsh for allowing us to use the Marconi site on Brow Head, Danny O'Keeffe for use of power and support facilities, and Arthur O'Sullivan for information on Marconi and his grandfather, Arthur Nottage.
