Alexanderson generatoor transmits on 17.2kHz next week-end
THE ALEXANDERSON TRANSMISSION IN 2004
Also this year there will be a transmission with the Alexanderson alternator on VLF 17,2 kHz, now on Sunday 4th July at: 08:30 UTC 10:30 UTC 12:30 UTC The UNESCO Committee will have a meeting in Beijing, China in the last week of June, and will then decide whether Grimeton Radio will be included in The World Heritage List, or not. So the message sent on Sunday July 4th will include information about the result. We keep our fingers crossed! The Radio Station will be open to visitors 10:00-16:00 Swedish time. The number of visitors has increased noticeably during the last years, from 300 to 500 and last year to almost 800. The weather has been extremely good, so far. We have had some problems with the keying of the transmitter last years and hope it will be better now. "Dots" has been missing quite often (not the operators fault!!). The amateurs will operate a transmitter with the call "SA6Q" on 20 meter band during the day: 14.035 MHz CW 14.215 MHz SSB QSL for both "SAQ" and "SA6Q" via: E-mail: Fax: +46-340-674195 Mail: Alexander - Grimeton Veteranradios Vaenner, Radiostationen, Grimeton 72, SE-430 16 ROLFSTORP, SWEDEN or via SM-bureau. For further info see our web site: www.alexander.n.se Regards SM6NM/Lars --- it was rather strong here two years ago (0.5mV on my active antenna), and was reported from several places around the world - not only in Europe --- J.

KC5DWD suppose you think that somebody really shouldn't need a telephone because they talk so loud, and particularly not radio? But this transmitter uses normal cw, and the tone is pure T9 --- J. M.

hearing range? Yes, except for the small, but very significant difference between electromagnetic and acoustic waves! -- S Holm, LA3ZA --------------------------------- www.qsl.net/la3za |

I am sure if you were too close to a very strong 17.2khz EM field you could feel something or hear the effect the radiation had on close in objects, but I don't think you could hear the EM. Sound waves and EM waves are two different things. 73 Gary N4AST |
