If you don't have a receiver, there are websdrs that cover that band.

..and there is a possibility of receiving the test today (Friday)

"Test transmissions are scheduled for November 29th between 13:00 - 16:00 CET.
During the tests, SAQ will be on air shorter periods of time, when we will be carrying out tuning, tests and measurements."

It was around S5 here, good copy. I could see the space wave on the
