[Lowfer] SAQ 17.2KHz Scheduled Test For April 22 - 10:00UTC

[ToddRoberts2001 at aol.com]

I received a forwarded message from Steve Ratzlaff that SAQ is scheduling a  
test for April 22 at 10:00 UTC. That would be 6 AM EDT Tuesday morning. I hope 
 everyone interested will get a chance to listen that day. Weather looks to 
be  clear in the Southeast for the next several days in a row so reception on 
VLF  may be fairly decent early Tuesday morning.  Another way to check if  SAQ 
is on the air is to visit the Sheffield, UK remote VLF receiver, a part of  
the Worldwide Lightning Locator Network. Their address is -

next test  transmission will take place on April 22 nd. 10:00 utc. 11:00 local 
time. SAQ  engineers are interested to receive reports on signal strength and 
shape of the  keyed carrier. Reports can be sent to :
