Marconi: Marconi Club ARI Loano

Founded in 1988 by a few Morse enthusiasts in Loano, Italy in order to honor Guglielmo Marconi who contributed a lot to radio technology and who promoted the use of Morse telegraphy. The objective is to gather active CW operators to honor the name of Marconi. The Italian word "marconista" is indeed used as a synonym for CW operator but in the context of the club "Marconista" is a title granted to the club members. Even the names Maria Cristina Marconi and Elettra Marconi can be found as activists in the club record.
