WI2XLQ: Brian Justin’s annual longwave broadcast starting Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve:
What has now become an annual LF listening event, WI2XLQ (an FCC Experimental Callsign) will once again be QRV for a recreation of the alleged first voice transmission made by Reginald Fessenden in 1909.
Transmission on 486kHz in full carrier AM will start at 22:00 UTZ on Dec 24th and run for 24 hours. In keeping with tradition, a repeat transmission will take place on Dec 31st at 22:00 UTC and run for 24 hours.
Further details about the Fessenden transmissions can be found in prior years of ARRL News.
