December 01 2024?

[MW1CFN]

Hello,

Someone has posted online that there is a SAQ transmission on December 01st. Is this true? I can’t find any reference to this anywhere else.

Could the Association improve its social media presence so that it’s easier for people to know what’s going on?

And yes, the test transmission can be heard this very moment in South Hungary. Very loud and easy copy. VVV SAQ… then tuning.

Re test schedule this afternoon look at the following site:

SAQ to air on Dec 1st centennial

“Test Transmission” just below the youtube channel link. And yes, the web site is not really user friendly.

Hi!
Radio DARC said last Sunday that TODAY (Friday, November 29th) SAQ will do some unofficial test transmissions in the afternoon. Would it be possible to publish somewhere when SAQ is on the air today?

Testing time during the few official transmissions is so short and I would like to test my RX and possibly improve on the antenna, so any additional vvv are welcome! 🙂

The Time-Info for “SAQ Grimeton historical VLF transmitter 10:00 UTC – Dec 1st centennial transmission”
==> https://www.youtube.com/live/VwINhKcSF5o
The specified time zone CEST in the description text for the three start times should be corrected because it is not daylight saving time. Good thing there is UTC 😉
kind regards

The entry has been improved. Thanks!

Hello!
Yes, we are preparing for an anniversary transmission on December 1st, exactly one hundred years since the Grimeton radio station was put into commercial operation on that very date in 1924.
All information about this upcoming transmission will be published within the next few days.
We communicate all our upcoming transmissions on our website and by email to our subscribers. Go to alexander.n.se and subscribe today!
