Hi Warren, Pete !

As "listener ship" just those people are counted, who wanted to get a 
QSL-card from SAQ, it is not correlated to the number of listeners.

The Radiostation SAQ Grimeton had been featured several times in German 
television. There is a 15 min sequel of the series "Heritage of the 
World" about SAQ, that is broadcasted frequently on several stations. 
German Radio Club DARC has been promoting the reception of SAQ to 
VLF-enthusiasts among hams (and non-hams) every year. It is easy to 
receive, when you are just some 100 miles away from the powerful ancient 
transmitter. And Christmas is all about nostalgia, so SAQ fits perfectly.
