It is now 10 years since our first Christmas Eve transmissions started.

There will be, as earlier, a transmission with the Alexanderson alternator on VLF 17.2 kHz CW from Grimeton Radio/SAQ in the very early morning on Christmas Eve, Thursday, December 24th 2015 .

A message will be transmitted at 08:00 UTC . The transmitter will be tuned up from around 07:30 UTC .

There will be no activity on amateur radio frequencies with the call SK6SAQ this time because the radio room is being redecorated and cannot be used.
