SAQ Transmissions

Extra transmission on 10th December
In order to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Nobel Prize to Guglielmo Marconi and Karl Ferdinand Braun, we plan to be on air on 10th December at 08.00 UTC and 16.00 UTC. No reports are required and no QSL-cards will be given.

Traditional transmission on Christmas Eve 24th December
SAQ will be on air on 24th December at 08.00 UTC. The frequency is as usual 17.2 kHz CW. Reports are welcome and will be confirmed by QSL-cards.

 

QSL reports can be given via:

- E-mail to: info at alexander.n.se 

- or fax to: +46-340-674195

- or via SM bureau

- or direct by mail to: Alexander - Grimeton Veteranradios Vaenner, Radiostationen, Grimeton 72, S-430 16 ROLFSTORP, SWEDEN

Note: SAQ is now a member of the Swedish Amateur Association (SSA) and "QSL via bureau" is OK.

 
As John mentioned, a second transmission will be at 16:00 UTC
( 11:00am EST ) and the noise floor is about 10dB lower during
the daytime hours at my QTH. So, I think if my computer holds 
together trying to be a server; I will leave it on while I'm
gone to work ( didn't think about that before ) and see if 
anything comes thru during daylight, As I can log onto the
audio stream from here at work as well.
