I always get an early warning before SAQ goes on the air so I will be able to send an alert message via the RSGB reflector at least a few days in advance. Excellent Johan! Please do keep us posted cos I'm sure not to be the only one in the LF-group that likes to hear this sound of the past. For my e-mail to the Grimeton museum I used the address given by the German "Funk" magazine: grimeton@va.mobitel.telia.se. But the Telia Mobile Postmaster advises me the address has been changed to: grimeton-radio@telia.se. The museum also has a website: http://www.telemuseum.se/Grimeton. I downloaded from Peter Schnoor's website his audio recording of the last transmission from Grimeton in August 1998 (1.9 Mb!). It took almost as long as a telephone call of my XYL to one of her friends... Well done Peter! But there is no substitute for a live performance so let's wait till Johan or Grimeton gives us a signal to fire up our VLF receivers. 73, Dick, PA0SE D.W. Rollema V.d.
