On Christmas morning, December 24th (UTC YearDay 358) , we will try to start the over 90 years old mechanical transmitter and send out a message. The transmitter will be started around 07:30 UTC (08:30 CET) and at 08:00 UTC (09:00 CET) a message will be sent out on the frequency 17,2 kHz cw. Here you can read more how to listen to the SAQ transmitter.
Guests are welcome to attend the transmission in Grimeton from 08:00-09:30 CET . The Alexander association will arrange Coffee, Glögg and Christmas cookies, free of charge. No entrance fee.
New! For those who can not attend, we will broadcast the event live from Grimeton, Sweden on our webpage www.alexander.n.se

A message will be transmitted at 08:00 UTC. The transmitter will be tuned up from around 07:30 UTC.
