[Milsurplus] Anderson Alternator SAQ transmission Christmas Eve Morning

[B. Smith]

*__*

The following email was received from Lars Kalland SM6NM and contains 
schedule info on the Annual Christmas Eve very low frequency 
transmission  on 17.2 Kcs. Several of us on the East Coast have been 
successful to include N3FRQ, W2AMI and K4CHE.

I usually go "TDY" to the local beach to get away from the noise and use 
a portable 4 foot loop but also have been successful here at the home 
QTH in Delaware. This year my attempt will be with a much smaller loop a 
"card board" special.
  So  drag out those low freq boat anchors and give a listen. NOTE that 
the transmission is on Christmas Eve "Morning" at 08:00Z which is 03:00 
EST early on the 24th.  HINT: When testing your receiver you should be 
able to pick up DOD Navy Station NAA on 24.0 Kcs located in Cutler, Ma.
