Hi ,
      I posted this on the LWCA message board. I  received a message 
forwarded by Steve Ratzlaff from an NDB list member in Sweden  reporting that SAQ 17.2 
KHz will run a test transmission on Wednesday, Feb 6 at  10:00 UTC. Should be 
interesting to listen for. 73 Todd WD4NGG  - Here is  the message :
 
Hi all,

SAQ is the ID of a vintage pre-tube VLF-transmitter at  Grimeton, Sweden 
which is run and maintained by UNESCO as cultural world  heritage. Beside the two 
official annual trans-missions in July and Christmas  Eve, test transmissions 
are made to verify that the alternator and antenna  system is in good working 
condition. I have been informed by an engineer of SAQ  that a test 
transmission will take place on Wednesday, Febr. 6, 2008 at 10:00  utc, (11:00 local 
time) on 17.2 kHz. The duration inclusive start-up will be  approx. 1 hour. 
Listener reports can be sent to : _info at alexander.n.se_ (mailto:info at alexander.n.se) 

Best  listening
