So does this spell the end of Finland as a SW broadcaster, or is it only the Pori site that is going away ? I haven't had a copy of Passport in a while .... I used to listen to them as well, and enjoyed their shows. Another one I used to like was Radio Nacional from Brasilia: they used to have an english broadcast in 15 mhz band (15.415 ?) . It has been quite a while so I don't remember any more. Their 11.780 broadcast comes in very well most of the time here in Puget Sound country (Seattle S).
