<H1>Radio Sweden to stop issuing QSL cards</H1>
<P><FONT face=Verdana>With the start of the new transmission period for
shortwave and mediumwave, as well as satellite, on October 25, <STRONG>Radio
Sweden</STRONG> will only be publishing its broadcast schedule on the Web.
</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Verdana>Radio Sweden says this is a logical consequence of the
increasing importance of the Internet as a broadcast platform and because it has
stopped broadcasting its own programmes in Swedish.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Verdana>At the same time the station is simplifying its marketing
and audience services. Listeners will find the schedules for all languages under
the heading “Frequencies/Tider och frekvenser” on the SR International homepage.
</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Verdana>When necessary and by request, Radio Sweden will also
continue to mail printed versions of its schedules in Swedish and other
languages. Listeners can also contact Swedish Radio’s Listener Service
department with requests.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Verdana>At the same time Radio Sweden is discontinuing mailing QSL
cards to listeners in response to reception reports.</FONT></P>
