Low Frequency Radio Transmission

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.
