The '''Motala longwave transmitter''' ({{langx|sv|Motala långvågsstation}}) is a [[longwave]] broadcasting station, established in 1927 in [[Motala]], [[Sweden]]. Its [[Antenna (radio)|aerial]] is of the T-type spun between two free standing steel framework towers, which still exist today. The transmitter was in service until 1962, when the new [[Longwave transmitter Orlunda|Orlunda longwave transmitter]] went in service. In 1991 [[Sveriges Radio]] AB shut down the Orlunda longwave transmitter. Since 1977, the '''Swedish Broadcasting Museum''' ({{langx|sv|Sveriges Rundradiomuseum}}) is co-located at the Motala longwave transmitter building, from which sometimes transmissions with low power in the longwave range take place. These transmissions may not be received well from abroad.
