To All
Johan Bodin wrote to me as an answer to my question when the Alexanderson
VLF alternator-transmitter SAQ at Grimeton in Sweden will be on the air the
following:
I actually know some of the people at "Telia Mobile" who are responsible
for the station.
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: [email protected]. But the Telia Mobile
Postmaster advises me the address has been changed to:
[email protected].
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.
