Low Frequency Radio Transmission

AncientMariner
The annual Christmas Eve message will be transmitted in Morse code on December 24th at 08:00 utc (UK Time) on 17.2 kHz. Tuning up commences at about 07:30 utc.

If interested and you do not have a suitable receiver in the conventional sense, you can use the sound card in your pc and this software https://sites.google.com/site/sm6lkm/saqrx/ together with a decent length of wire.

The transmission will be screened live at  YouTube Channel.

    Presumably there has to be some sort of connection from the wire strung over your garden and the sound card.


    Remember that when I was a kid we had such a length of wire from the house to an oak tree attached to the valve radio to improve the reception of Radio Luxembourg and the pirate stations, so I have done that bit, as well as setting up a CB radio stick antennae on top of a length of steel pipe with a ground plane using a SWR meter, so have done that side of it.
