You'll forgive me being silent in the last days. I'm testing a new antenna (with interesting results, as you'll soon read). However, today it was a special Sunday, with a double SAQ transmission planned., and this deserves to be shared You surely know we're talking about the Alexander Generator station in Grimeton, Sweden. One of the last starring characters of VLF aiming radio enthousiasts (everything else left is strategical). Probably due to the fact I'm not owning the best set-up for such low frequencies reception, this station gave me hard times in the past. On the last Christmas transmission (that's when they usually activate the mastodontic generator) I wasn't able to receive at all their signal. Today, however, NRD-525 and "Mini-whip" did the trick: they came in pretty strong both times, at 9.00 and 12.00 UTC. Tuning of the generator started quite in advance, and it' has been a double pleasure either to receive a signal coming from quite far on 17.2 kHz and hearing so classy hand-keyed CW. A short evidence is in the video above. Reception reports will be accepted for today's broadcast, both via e-mail and standard letter. So, you can easily guess what will be my next step, as I miss confirmation from this station so far!
