[WVDXA] GI/W8HC/p Marconi in Ireland Tour- 2nd Installment complete on web

[w8hc at aol.com]

I have just completed the 2nd installment of our trip to Ireland last 
month that includes our mini-expedition to Rathlin Island in Northern 
Ireland off the coast of Ballycastle, County Antrim.  Stephanie and I 
were hosted by several members of the Marconi Radio Group who took us 
to East Lighthouse on Rathlin to recreate Marconi's wireless 
experiments for Lloyd's of London in 1898.  You can read about our 
experience in my travel blog, enjoy the digital photo images or view 
two videos I have produced for the internet, one is a music-type video 
using still images that runs about 6-minutes and the second video runs 
about 30-minutes and includes video footage of my GI/W8HC/p operation 
 from the lighthouse.  One of the highlights is a portion of my QSO with 
Dave WA8WV where you will see some of the problems I had to deal with.  
Murphy put in a couple appearances.

My hope is to have the third and final installment of the trip from 
Marconi's Clifden site completed in time for the 100th anniversary of 
the site on October 17th...

Enjoy and 73,
