Same station observed here in Groningen (northern part of the 
Netherlands) with a Lowe HF-225 and a loop-type antenna out on 
the balcony.  Listened from today 30 October from 2200 - 2240 and 
heard non-stop dansband music, with a song by Carola and 
Swedish versions of 'Nikita' and 'Dedicated Follower of Fashion', 
and 'Island in the Sun' by a lady at 2240.  Signal quite weak, but 
relatively good modulation.

What's this then?  Free radio from Aaland?  Music for Swedish 
fishermen from a deserted oil platform?  Is the signal strong in a 
particular area of Sweden?
