HAM Radio

In 1981 a group of Canadian Ham Radio operators formed the

"Rete - Eco d'Oltre Mare"

to commemorate the 80th anniversary of Guglielmo Marconi's first wireless transmission. The objective was to establish and maintain a Net primarily linking Canada and Italy. Also, to promote a reciprocity agreement for third party communications via land telephone lines.
