After almost exactly 15 years of service the Swedish LOFAR station --- SE607 one of the first ILT stations --- has done its last observation. Or rather SE607 version 1.0 has. This week, technicians in Sweden disconnected all the coaxial cables inside the container (as seen in the photo) and emptied the racks. The signals flow to /dev/null. But it did not leave empty-handed. In the last hours before its final power-off, it recorded a final postcard from Jupiter with beautiful Faraday rotated emission, as seen from the wavering Stokes Q oscillating from plus to minus. It's as if it's waving goodbye đŸ‘‹ And yet, this is not an ending. Next year, SE607 will rise again as version 2.0—a return we in Sweden look forward to.
