Changes and departures:

As of late-October, Radio Sweden will no longer be offering QSL cards. Meanwhile, at the end of October, two shortwave stations (Radio Vlaanderen Int'l in Belgium, and WBOH in the United States) will no longer be broadcasting on shortwave radio. The sister station of WBOH, WTJC on 9370, will however continue it's shortwave broadcasts.

In the Czech Republic, the Czech Ministry of Foreign Affairs is looking for Radio Prague to end all shortwave broadcasts at the end of 2009. This comes at a time when the Czech Republic is looking to cut costs. Those wishing to express their concern over the possible closing of Radio Prague's shortwave service should contact:
