Aim of this event is to highlight at an international level the historical value and
meaning of the Yacht “Elettra”, the moving laboratory of the great Italian
scientist, onboard of which a number of very important experiments on the
radiocommunications were conducted.
Over the whole weekend, the radioamateurs of the A.R.I. Fidenza group will
operate a radio station located close to the relict keel of the yacht “Elettra”, kept
at the Museum, and will ideally give new life to its “voice», allowing the
radioamateurs overall in the world to get in contact with it.

The project has obtained the prestigious sponsorship of the Guglielmo Marconi Foundation,
which is known as promoter of research activities in the field of the telecommunications and
undertakes initiatives aimed to disseminate the knowledge about the scientific activity
conducted by the great Italian inventor.
The event will take place in conjunction with international happening “Museum Ships
Weekend Event”, organized by the american association “Battleship New Jersey Amateur
Radio Station NJ2BB” affiliated to the ARRL (American Radio Relay League).
This event takes place every year during the first weekend of June, and has the goal to allow
the Radio activation of hundreds of radioamateur stations located on board of museum battle
ships.
Therefore, beside the radioamateur aspects of the event, its peculiarity is therefore that the
concerned ships are someway ideally “resuscitated”, even if over a weekend only, allowing to
highlight their historical, technological and human value and meaning.
The Radioamateurs over all the world will then be able to partecipate to the event by
performing radio contacts with the Marconi Station “par excellence”: ELETTRA, the moving
laboratory of the great Italian scientist.
