La estación de Radio Grimeton – SAQ vuelve por Navidad

https://elradioescucha.net/2014/12/23/la-estacion-de-radio-grimeton-saq-vuelve-por-navidad/

24 December 2025: The Very Low Frequency (VLF) transmitter from Grimeton (Sweden) with the call sign SAQ goes on air. Is it possible to receive this transmitter with simple means in the city of Bern? Yes, it is possible.
Antenna: (DIY) three ferrite rods wound with HF litz wire.
DIY up-converter.
Degen DE1103 receiver.
The signal was weak, but it was still possible to copy it.

SAQ was very weak here today but copyable. It would be nice if they could wind it up to full power but it's nicer to have the thing still in existence without stressing it to death. YouLoop in the loft, Airspy HF+ Discovery and SDR++ on the Mac. #VLF #SAQ

Yay! After several years of bad timing I finally managed to build myself an antenna to receive the #Grimeton mechanical radio transmitter #SAQ at only 17.2 kHz!
My Antenna was basically DL1DBC's E-Filed probe (https://dl1dbc.net/SAQ/homebrew_e-field.html ) but build with parts I had on the bench anyway.
So I went to our garden on this frosty morning.
And wow! did not expect such good reception on what is basically audio frequency with such small antenna!

#VLF #SAQ is on air. QRG 17.2 kHz

Zu Weihnachten wird es wohl wieder eine Sendung aus #Grimeton vom Alexander Alternator #SAQ geben.

Eine gute Gelegenheit mal in die untersten Frequenzen reinzuhören.

This is how my 17m circumference WellGood amplified loop pulled SAQ in this afternoon (signal begins at 20s in).

-90dBm, nearly S7 throughout. The carrier was clearly visible again.

Using a converter, mixing with 10MHz, I received SAQ Grimeton today at 17.2kHz 🤩

Not my first, but definitely the best signal strength so far 😃

Wow I tried to copy the poem over #CW via the broadcast but my skills are a little rusty. What a #poem over #cw. TNX ES 73

@g7kse Could copy #SAQ very weak here with my indoor Youloop, with my outside active loop zilch 😏
