Sorry for my mistake. My iphone was giving me London time- wrong setting, needed UTC time. London is UTC plus 1.
A two-way amateur radio contact with the Society of Newfoundland Radio Amateurs (SONRA) VO1AA in St. Johns, Canada is planned during the upcoming visit of Princess Elettra Marconi to station KM1CC and the Cape Cod National Seashore on May 31, 2018.

“Signal Hill in St. John’s, Newfoundland is where Guglielmo Marconi received the letter ‘S’ from his Poldhu Station in 1901 in the U.K. by flying a kite antenna,” according to Barbara Dugan, N1NS. Dugan is trustee of the Marconi Cape Cod Radio Club (KM1CC) and a National Park Service employee.
VO1AA and KM1CC will try to make contact on 14.224 MHz USB +/- between 1645-1700 1545-1600 UTC. “The Princess could be behind schedule, so we must be flexible,” adds N1NS.
Amateurs and SWLers are invited to listen on the frequency at those times for the commemorative QSO featuring the Princess. Chris Hillier, VO1IDX will serve as the net control so SONRA members can call in to the Princess. Someone from KM1CC will stay on the air with VO1AA should the Princess need to depart; afterwards, KM1CC will take calls from anyone who wishes to contact them in grid square FN51.
