Over the years, we've gotten a number of fascinating, warm letters from those 
gentlemen in the Scandanavian countries (usually Finland) who have picked-up 
our signal. Many of them included nice photos of their listening posts, little 
shacks, etc, and also pics of family. Very friendly folk... that's why I 
always look forward to getting something from them. :)
