Official transmissions
Grimeton Radio Station was listed as a world heritage site because its
original equipment is an exceptionally well-preserved example of the development
of communication technology. In fact, it is still in working order. Grimeton
(call sign SAQ) still transmits a message to the world twice a year: at the
Alexanderson Day (Sunday at the end of June/beginning of July) and at Christmas
Eve. Next transmission is planned to take place on the Alexanderson Day Sunday
29 June 2014.
Groups can also book an exclusive start-up demonstration as part of their
visit to the world heritage site. Contact the
World Heritage Grimeton for more
information.

Transmissions on Alexanderson Day Sunday 29 June 2014
SAQ will be on air on
Sunday 29 June. We try to start the transmitter soon
after
08.30 UTC so there will be a test signal from about
08.40 UTC and a
message will be sent at
09.00 UTC. A similar procedure will start at
11.30 UTC
and the message will be repeated at
12.00 UTC.
The frequency is 17.2 kHz CW.
