It was heard by a few locals in and around Gothenburg.
One of those, a friend of mine, described the signal like this:
"I have had better signals from stations with electrical power problems in 
the Bolivian jungle that I got from this transmission in my own home town."
According to Swedish information the organizers had problems with the 
transmitter, which was a modified Icom 706.
The problems were related to a couple of 813 valves which didn't function 
in some amplifier. With a working amplifier they had hoped to get 250 watts 
of radiated power, with a lone Icom 706 they didn't get close to that.
