Poldhu Amateur Radio club is housed in the National Trust Marconi Centre which is a located on the cliffs above Poldhu Cove just a little further East along the coast from Porthleven.  This is the site from which Guglielmo Marconi sent the letter S in Morse code across the Atlantic ocean to St John's Newfoundland on 12th December 1901, and the ruins of Marconi's original buildings are still there 100 years on. There is a monument to celebrate Marconi's massive achievement which stands right on the cliff edge overlooking the beautiful Cornish coastline.

                 

The Poldhu Amateur Radio Club is very lucky to have such a wonderful building with its excellent facilities for a club house and club members co-operate with the National Trust by opening the Marconi Centre to the public every Sunday afternoon throughout the year, and additionally every Wednesday afternoon from May to October.  Visitors to the Marconi Centre who present a valid amateur radio licence are more than welcome to operate the radios.  Club members meet in the Centre for club nights on Tuesdays and Fridays and usually operate the radios on those evenings to put the Marconi Centre's permanent special event callsign, GB2GM, on the air.

   

 Not only is the view from the Marconi Centre spectacularly beautiful, but it also has the great advantage of unobscured propagation through 360º from it's cliff top location some 120ft above sea level, to which height is added the club's 60ft antenna masts of course.
