International Marconi Day is celebrated all over the world on the closest Saturday to the actual birthday of Guglielmo Marconi. International Marconi Day is a celebration of the Italian inventor's credit, with the invention of the radio transmitter. This technology later birthed other integral applications that we use today such as mobile phones, radar, broadcasting, air-traffic control, and is considered vital to the technological advancement of mankind.
Marconi Day or International Marconi Day (IMD) is celebrated by people around the world, especially radio enthusiasts. Marconi's birthday is highly awaited by ham radio lovers such as those who partake in activities at IMD stations such as VK2IMd, the only IMD station in Australia.
Guglielmo Marconi was born on April 25, 1874-the day is named in his honor. The first International Marconi Day was celebrated in 1991.
International Marconi Day was started by radio enthusiasts to celebrate the electrical engineer Guglielmo Marconi, the creator of radio transmitters and communication techniques that utilize Hertzian waves.
Guglielmo Marconi was born on April 25, 1874, in Bologna. He was the second son of Giuseppe Marconi and did not attend school as a child or have formal higher education. He learned chemistry, mathematics, and physics from a number of private tutors hired through his parents. Guglielmo Marconi is credited with the invention of radiotelegraphy, which is an integral communication technique that utilizes radio waves to transmit information.
Traditionally radio enthusiasts broadcast specific waves and perform radio tests in the honor of the Italian engineer. People also host ham radio competitions in various countries like the USA, UK, Australia, and Italy.
