Back on the 23rd of May 2019, I came across this special event station on CW on 14 MHz... WA1WCC/100RC
Not the easiest call sign to send or read considering the length! :)
The station was marking the 100th anniversary of the RCA takeover of the Maritime Coast Station at Cape Cod, Massachusetts.
In November 1919, RCA acquired the assets of the Marconi Wireless Telegraph Company of America, which then ceased doing business in the US.
At the outset, RCA consisted of only five radio stations, in various stages of completion, and Chatham was one of them. Chatham would later become RCA's flagship coastal station WCC, known as "Marine Radio Central".
WA1WCC is commemorating the founding of RCA in a year-long celebration.
Watch for WA1WCC / 100RCA on the bands during 2019.
From what I can see on the DX Cluster, all activity is on CW. More information on their website and QRZ page...
