On December 1st 1924, the 200kW Alexanderson alternator with the call sign
"SAQ" was put into commercial operation with telegram traffic from Sweden
to the United States. 101 years later, the transmitter is the only
remaining electro-mechanical transmitter from this era and is still in
running condition. On Christmas Eve morning, Wednesday December 24th 2025,
the transmitter is scheduled* to spread the traditional Christmas message
to the whole World, on 17.2 kHz CW.
