Radio Sweden Sölvesborg on 1179 kHz used to make it through on occasions via the FRG7 and ALA1530 loop antenna in Fish Hoek.
I was fortunate to receive a QSL card in response to my email reception report for the medium wave reception on the 11th September 2006 :
" ... Thanks for the reception report and the sound clip. Really amazing the medium wave broadcast reached Cape Town ! "
It was also a pleasant surprise to receive a friendly and informative letter from Service Technician Hakan Widenstedt who kindly included interesting information with photographs of the antenna system and a Terecom pendant.
" We; the three technicians serving the SW station in Hoerby and the MW station in Sölvesborg want to present you with our company flag for the extraordinary feat of catching our 1179 kHz signal as far away as South Africa ...
We have been listening to the audio clip attached in the E-mail that was forwarded to us from our friends at Radio Sweden and we are very impressed ...
I remember, in the very early days of the Sölvesborg station, there was a reception report from one famous DXer Arthur Cushing in New Zealand, but these occcaasions are of course very rare ... "
Radio Sweden ceased broadcasting on MW and SW on the 30th October 2010 at 2159 UTC.
