CHILDREN and parents have been invited to help transform one of Oxford's museums into an amateur radio station and talk to people around the globe.

The Museum of the History of Science on Broad Street will be transformed into a communications hub for one day on Saturday, April 21, with the help of Oxford and District Amateur Radio Society.

The event, which runs from 12pm to 4pm, celebrates the birthday of radio pioneer Guglielmo Marconi. See mhs.ox.ac.uk
