The transmitter in Grimeton -over a 100 years old now- transmitted today. They start it up many times a year, but it only transmits like twice a year and then only for a few minutes.

I’ve been there a number of times when they started it up, even once participated, but now I’ve finally tested the receiver-kit i assembled.

    That’s quite an understatement

    It’s really neat!

    It’s honestly incredible stuff. I’d love to make myself one of those receivers & enjoy the yearly test.

      I paid sek 565:- (roughly Eur 51 / $59) for the kit on the photo (excl batt.) but shipment might cost you more, but you can ask them ;)
