Audio Sample

SAS is the military part of the Varberg site. It shares the antenna with SAQ (Grimeton Radio) https://www.sigidwiki.com/wiki/Grimeton_Radio_(SAQ).

So if SAQ is going to start one of its rare transmissions, SAS is turned off one or two days before.

Swedish MSKMinimum-Shift Keying (When Shift/Bd = 0.5. It is impossible to get this ratio to be lower than 0.5, hence it is called the 'Minimum' shift.) transmitters can easily be identified in the waterfall diagram by their fishbone-like modulation pattern. This seems to belong to the idle phases while the pattern becomes more random while transmitting data.
