[Elecraft] A Bit of History

[Björn Mohr]

>> Once again SAQ, the wonderful old radio station at Grimeton, Sweden, was
on the air with a Christmas Eve broadcast. This rig is the predecessor of
all of our modern CW rigs, producing clean high-power CW signals back in
1924, long before vacuum tubes were up to the job. <<

For the first time I tried VLF and listened to the SAQ transmission this
morning. Being on a distance of about 450 km I was using my laptop with a 15
meter wire hooked up to the mic input and Spectrum Lab as a software RX.
Picked up SAQ Grimeton fairly good with a 559 report. This was a new
experience for me, never used my IBM as an RX before :)

I also had good copy of the russian military transmission on 18.1.
