Operated by the Society of Newfoundland Radio Amateurs (SONRA) our amateur radio station is an official Marconi site. Using the WW1 callsign of H.M. Wireless Station Mount Pearl, our callsign is VO1 BZM. This station gives other amateur stations from around the world the opportunity to contact this historic callsign as well as special event signs such as VO1 RMS for the R.M.S. Titanic or VO1 MZL for the S.S. Florizel.
