No and Yes.

It's the only one remaining of the 20 that where build, and it's also fully functioning. They start it up multiple times a year (30 or so) just to keep it in a working condition. It runs usually like half an hour to avoid excessive wear. The actual transmissions (they transmit for 5 min.) happens only twice a year. The next transmission is most likely on Christmas, they stream the whole event -with explanations- live on YouTube too.

A lot of the stuff posted here is too interesting, IMO.

Wow that's neat!

And imagine they had to run it without hearing protection for being able to hear problems in the machine asap.

Sure can! (it's not mine though) it's here They even sell the kit to assemble yourself. That's how I did it, Easier and cheaper than collecting the part from everywhere (God, I miss having a store in town selling electronics parts and even could make your PCB)

jo men abslolut ! Kan rekommendera att åka dit och upplever sändare start.

I Sure am, but distance isn't a thing, they listen in all over the world (map of receiver reports, multiple years combined)

I know what you mean, but ....each key-press releases 200Kw into the antenna. A steam engine will never maintain a constant speed with such pulsating load. The tricks Alexander came up with to solve it with the electric drive is truly impressive, I don't see that happening with steam.
