[Premium-Rx] SAQ 17.2KHz WINTER TRANSMISSION FEB 19 0900 &1300 UTC!

I just received word that VLF Radiostation Grimeton will run 2 special rare 
wintertime CW transmissions of SAQ 17.2KHz on 0900 & 1300 UTC Sunday, February 
19, 2006. Each transmission will be about a half-hour in length. Remember to 
convert UTC correctly to your own time so you don't miss the transmission. SAQ 
is the world's only remaining operational Alexanderson Alternator Transmitter 
and this will be a great opportunity to try your luck receiving them in 
optimum wintertime conditions for VLF! So get your VLF loops or longwire antennas 
ready and brush the cobwebs off  your R-389's, SRR-11's, RAK's, RBL's, RBA's, 
WRR-3's or whatever cool VLF receiver you might have available or one of your 
solid-state premium rx's that will tune down to 17.2KHz with good sensitivity. A 
battery operated rx can be helpful to avoid ever-present line noise on VLF 
also. 73 Todd WD4NGG
