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.

      I think it’s more about the things other people would find dull. That we find those kinds of things interesting is why we are here to begin with.

      Agreed! But I think that’s on us then. Apparently dullness is a very enjoyable lifestyle.

      I would not wanna trade with those who thought “So? You heard a few crackling beeps from a 100+ year old machine, did you not get the message? We have whatsapp and spotify now”
