The transmitted message

CQ CQ CQ DE SAQ SAQ SAQ = THIS IS GRIMETON RADIO STATION/SAQ IN A TRANSMISSION USING THE ALEXANDERSON 200KW ALTERNATOR FROM 1924 ON 17.2 KHZ. = GRIMETON RADIO STATION, LIKE RADIO AS A MEDIUM, SYMBOLIZES THE MEANING AND NECESSITY OF RELIABLE COMMUNICATION BETWEEN PEOPLE IN DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE WORLD, AND EMPHASIZES THE VITALITY AND VALUE OF THE FREEDOM OF SPEECH AS A BASIC HUMAN RIGHT. ON THIS YEAR’S WORLD RADIO DAY, WE WISH TO HIGHLIGHT INDEPENDENT RADIO AND ITS IMPORTANCE IN CONFLICT PREVENTION AND PEACEBUILDING. INCREASED SUPPORT TO INDEPENDENT RADIO IS NECESSARY TO ALLOW IT TO CONTINUE BRIDGING DIVIDES AND PROMOTING DIALOGUE, WHICH ARE KEY FACTORS IN ACHIEVING GLOBAL PEACE. = SIGNED: VARBERG CALLING FOR PEACE NETWORK, WORLD HERITAGE GRIMETON RADIO STATION AND THE ALEXANDER-GRIMETON FRIENDSHIP ASSOCIATION. + = FOR QSL INFO PLEASE READ OUR WEBSITE: WWW.ALEXANDER.N.SE DE SAQ SAQ SAQ @
