Mark the date of 14th April on your calendar. If you know your history, you'll recall that at 23:40 ship’s time on that day, the RMS Titanic struck an iceberg in the North Atlantic, bringing its inaugural sailing to a fatal end.

Mark this year's calendar, as well, from 0000 UTC on the 10th April to 2359 on the 15th April. That time period marks the date of the luxury liner's voyage from Southampton, which ended with its sinking. The Titanic Memorial special event station EG-1912-T will be on the air using all modes HF, VHF, UHF and SHF during that period, organised by the Union of Radio Amateurs of Vigo-Val Miñor. A number of Spanish citizens were on board the ship.

The activation will focus on CW to honour Jack Phillips and Harold Bride, the first and second telegraphers on board. The activation also honours Harold Cottam, the telegrapher on board the Carpathia, the first ship to make a rescue effort at the site of the doomed Titanic.

There will be a special QSL card for hams contacting EG1912T in CW. All other QSLs will be sent via the bureau, eQSL and LoTW.
