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

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
