[Lowfer] SAQ TEST TRANSMISSION 2012-01-12

[ToddRoberts2001 at aol.com]

Hi Garry,
I did write to Lars Kalland over at SAQ requesting if SAQ would 
consider running another special evening broadcast for North
American listeners.
 
I believe they had pretty good success the last time they did that and  even
European listeners had better results over a path of darkness.
 
Glad to know they were able to sort out the technical problems
they had over Christmas.

Well looks like it's unanimous, nothing of SAQ seen here either. I knew  
it was hopeless when I compared my 12-22 kHz sweep with the 1335Z sweep  
of G3ZJO (http://g3zjo.bplaced.net/). The ZJO sweep showed very strong  
"local" European signals, including SAQ, but seemingly nothing of NWC on  
19.8 kHz and NPM on 21.4 kHz, two signals I could copy well. Actually,  
upon closer examination NPM was in there but much weaker than the locals  
and NWC was probably well under local sideband power. I looked briefly  
for the VLF Alpha stations and found all 3 fairly normal in strength.
