The 98-year-old 200kW Alexanderson alternator, call sign SAQ, will not be able to air on Alexanderson Day, Sunday, 3 July 2022. This is due to difficulties in obtaining components in the ongoing maintenance work. The Alexander Association welcomes visitors to the museum on the 3 July from 10am to 4pm. Together with the World Heritage Grimeton Radio Station they will offer many activities for the whole family during the day. There will be two transmitter startups with SAQ, but without any transmission over the antenna.
