Today listen for SAQ on 17.2 kHz

[Jan Anker]

Today  28th may 1998 the old 200 kW Alexanderson alternator in Grimeton
Sweden is on the air again on 17.2 kHz. Call SAQ.
This mornings transmission  0915-0945 UTC was received well here in Belgium,
try to listen 1500-1530 UTC today.
The Alexanderson alternator was build for traffic with the USA so wonder if
it still
can be heard over there. Switch all TV's and ac dimmers off.
I also heard RDL (Russia?) with cw en 50 baud rtty on 18khz.
Grimeton will transmit a message in A1 for 15 minutes and will repeat that
once more.
