[bars] ON-AIR-EVENT - VLF Tx "SAQ" Anniversary Transmission

[Juan Jiménez]

On December 1, 1924, the very low frequency (VLF) transmitter with call
sign "SAQ" at Grimeton Radio Station in Sweden, was put into commercial
operation. Transmissions were sent across the Atlantic Ocean to the
receiving station located at Riverhead, L.I., NY.  Replying messages were
sent from a  transmitter station located at Rocky Point, also on Long
Island.



  *On December 1, 2024, 100years later, SAQ will be on the air to
commemorate the event.* The unique

Alexanderson alternator from 1924, with the call sign SAQ, *is scheduled
for one (1)  transmission on VLF 17.2 kHz, CW, which will begin at 11:00
CET(10:00 UTC).*



    Visitors are welcome to the transmitter hall at Grimeton to experience
an SAQ transmission. Tickets can be purchased here.



*     The transmission event can be seen live on the Grimenton YouTube
channel.*



*(Ed. Note - I am sure that they would appreciate a reception report.)*
