Thanks for that link Paul, I shall enjoy watching the video later.
I have fond memories of Radio Sweden, it was the first international broadcaster I tuned upon back in the early 1970s, I was 9 or 10 I think and couldn't believe I'd picked it up at the time. In the years that followed I listened to their half hour english broadcast on most evenings and never missed "Sweden Calling DXers" after the news on Tuesday's. In my mind I can still hear Arne Skoog and later George Wood presenting it. Do you remember the music used to end the programme? It was "Waves In The Air" by Swedish duo Adolphson and Falk. I managed to download a mp3 of it a few years ago, great stuff! Regards
