[QUOTE="Kevin Trotman, post: 11614"] The Jubilee Year for the Grimeton Radio Station in Sweden is well under way, having begun last December. The highest point of the year, however, will come on the 2nd of July - the exact date, 100 years ago, that the station's 200kW alternator sent a message across the Atlantic Ocean for receipt by the US president, Calvin Coolidge. The message reached the receiving station in Riverhead, New York - on Long Island - and the president had a reply sent, praising the new broadcaster and sharing his hopes for good relations between Sweden and the US. July 2nd is nearly here and the 100-year anniversary of that historic message is being celebrated with a telegram to be transmitted from the station on 17.2 kHz using CW at 0900 UTC. The station will be using the original callsign, SAQ, . The broadcast can be heard on a receiver with VLF capability and will also be live streamed on YouTube. In the meantime, hams wishing to make contact with the amateur radio station SK6SAQ in CW or SSB should be listening on 80, 40 and 20 metres.
