[Lf] [Lowfer] SAQ Update (fwd)

[Frank Gentges]

Hi,

I listened this morning but did not detect anything on my RX320/Spectran 
setup.  The antenna ended up being my Burhans efield probe.  The carbonyl 
loop does not now tune this now and it is too deaf.  Attached is some 
good skinny on this evenings transmission  schedule.  This is going to be 
a tough catch.

VLF'ers,

I didn't hear a peep from SAQ on 17.2KHz this morning. 
Things were quiet in Western New Jersey, but suspect the
path to Sweden was pretty poor. We get another chance at
06:00 UTC.

Here's a report I got from Bengt Swensson:

Hi again AL,
 I called the station manager Mr Bengt Dagaas and he said
that due
to snow etc. it took a while until stabilization in antenna
current.
They transmitted three times 20 minutes at 1200, 1230 and
1300 z.
The coils etc had dried at the third transmission.
The same procedure tomorrow, with three transmissions of 20
minutes
starting 0600 z.
-73, Bengt

Good hunting,
Al
