Marconi's wife gave his Key to the President of the IRTS in the 30s,
and it was turned into a rotating trophy for CW winner of the 12 hour
IOTA contest, and I'm proud to have my call on it twice and kept it
in our County Clare cottage for those two years.

Unlikely we'll get back to Ireland, my bride of 41 years has just
been diagnosed with ALS.
