Indiana Jones wannabe at the Temple of Philae
I was born in California, but have lived in Sweden since 1975, working at Radio Sweden.
I spent many years writing and presenting our program for shortwave listeners, “Sweden Calling DXers”. With the gradual phase-out of shortwave in favor of the Internet, I’ve since moved on to being our webmaster. My big claim to web fame has been that I was the first person in Sweden to post a radio program on the Internet, in 1994…the first person in Europe to post a radio program in English.
In August 2011 I took a leave of absence from Radio Sweden to move to Strasbourg in France. Sweden is a lot different from the United States, but France is even more so….

Geordie, how are you. Hope all is well.
I am writing to ask some details of tomorrow night’s switch off of 1179, and a piece of history disappears. Can you tell me the time of the last english show and the time of the actual switch off. I would like to record and amazingly the Radio Sweden web site is very vague.
Even in dx circles, info is vague…..
Can you help????

PS : I have reproduced some radio sweden posters in my logs page for october….. a blast from the past…
Near as I can see, the last broadcasts will be a half hour of English between 2330 and 2400 Swedish time, in othervwoeds, 2230-2300 BST, followed by Swedish from the P4 network until closedown at 0200 Swedish/0100 BST.
