[GCARC] SAQ scheduled to air on November 16th 2022

[Mike]

Hello All,


Passing along this information in case anyone is interested. A few times a
year these folks fire up a 200kW Alternator that operates on 17.2kHz and
they send a CW message. If anyone has the capability they might want to
tune in.

To commemorate the UNESCO 50th anniversary, World Heritage Grimeton Radio
Station has scheduled* SAQ to be on the air at 17:00 CET (16:00 UTC) on
Wednesday, November 16th, 2022, to send out a peace message to the whole
world, using the 200kW Alexanderson alternator from 1924, on 17.2 kHz CW.
