Andy,
According to the RSGB News, there is a Royal Navy Spark Transmission from
Poldhu today, to celebrate the marconi centenary. Does anyone have any
further details, such as a frequency ? Very approximate presumably.
I believe that the transmissions will center on 1700 kHz, and will happen at
:55 each hour.
Having typed that, I realized the impropriety of quoting a spark
transmitter's frequency in "kHz." How about 176.35 meters? And I have no
idea what their decrement is. Since we have broadcast stations on 1700 over
here, I decided not to bother trying overnight. Perhaps I could have tuned
up to 1720 or so, and still have done OK!
