      Yesterday I received for the first time the SAQ transmission.
      The SAQ signal, here in Romania, Pitesti, KN24KU, was much better than expected for my all home made equipment : 599+ some statics, for the first transmission and 489+QRN for the second transmission.
      My rig : VLF converter (based on the DL4ZAO VLF conv.), 14 MHz cw/ssb Rx, G5RV antenna (a kind of !).
      Many thanks to the entire crew for these transmissions and for all their work,
      73, Gigi, YO7GYQ.

      Hello from a smoky and hot Alaska – was awake for the first transmission only and signals around 339 signal 10-12 dB above noise. I had to employ my single turn 3m diameter loop/Spectrumlabs to cut high QRN, and much better, and rarely, than the L400b probe which I typically use for SAQ. Thanks for the Signals and congrats on getting the signal over the Pole in the middle of summer – 73 Laurence KL7L

      Signals excellent about 20 dB over man made noise (abt 5 dB less than JXN on 16.4 kHz) in a city location.
      The second transmission slightly noisier anbd abt 2 dB weaker, but solid copy.

      Fine signal as usual, also the frequency stability seems to have been improved.

      Good signals into the UK.

      15dB above the noise floor into Farnham WEB SDR http://farnham-sdr.com/ in SE UK

      12dB above the noise floor into Kernow KiWI WEB SDR http://kernow.hopto.org:8073/ at Goonhilly Earth Station in Cornwall SW tip of UK (despite a very high noise floor)

      Unfortunately too much switched mode power supply noise on my SWUK KiWi SDR http://southwest.ddns.net:8073/ which masked the SAQ signal.
