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. The things Alexander came up with to make it work at the time are truly amazing (still are today)

        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 ;)
