[Lowfer] SAQ Test Transmission 02/06 @ 10:00 UTC

[Barrett, Steven W]

Hi,

My QTH is Seattle, WA and I have a low frequency receiver (surplus) and
can tune 17.2 Khz  I have an Inverted-L cut for 160M.  Any chance of
hearing this signal at my QTH?

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_

Best  listening
