[MRCA] SAQ transmission on 17 Kcs

[Steve Hobensack via MRCA]

Don't make the mistake I did a few years ago. Note that this event happens a little more than 24 hours before the Christmas presents are opened.

         Just a
 reminder for a unusual radio  event that might involve
 
 some of the military receivers in your inventory.  The
 transmission from 
 Grimeton radio (Sweden)  takes place on the "morning"
 (08:00 Z)(03:00 
 EST)of Christmas eve (December 24) on 17.2 Kcs. Yes that is
 correct 17 
 Kcs or just above the hearing range.      :-)
 Amongst our group N3FRQ 
 and I have been successful in picking up the transmissions
 -  -   Al did 
 it first!  Last years  info is posted below and
 they have followed the 
 same format for several years. Those of us on the East Coast
 have a 
 unique opportunity to participate in a rare RF event. So
 fire up those 
 low freq receivers and give it a go.
