Title: Station SAQ 17kc Post by: wa1mtz on July 19, 2015, 08:26:30 PM Does anyone know when the next time they will be on?? I'd love to hear it I have rx longwave b'casts on 150-190kc with a xtal set in November-abt 21h est I could hear several just fine. I usually use a BC-779 with a 2mh choke and 600pf var. in a L network, signals go from a s-5 with noise to +30 over! I've also qso'ed on 185 kc AM and MCW. wish there was more activity.

Grimeton Radio (SAQ) is activated in cw transmission by the Alexanderson Society at least two times a year, at the beginning of July around the Alexanderson Day and on christmas eve (look out for skeds).

I have asked the question, and will soon get a reply f there is a chance of any extra transmissions. Will be back... Were I live, SAQ reception is a piece of cake. Anyway, it is truly a remarkable transmitter, have seen it in action a couple of times.

I have had great fun receiving most all of the of the VLF MSK stations worldwide from local quiet locations in my truck using my Wandell and Goltermann AT-611 selective level meter powered from a small DC to AC inverter and using a HF mobile whip for the antenna. Did not copy SAQ from home last Christmas due to high local noise levels on the home station 80 meter dipole. AMfone - Dedicated to Amplitude Modulation on the Amateur Radio Bands
When conditions are quiet enough at home I can copy NPM from Oahu and at least once NWC on Northwest Cape, Australia with the AT-611 on the shack workbench using a 3 foot VOM test lead for an antenna! Looks like we have missed the July Alexanderson day sked for SAQ for this year though. |
