Definitely keep the SWL stuff here.

Those Fins take medium wave DXing seriously.  They go off into the tundra
with lots of gear and 250' long wires and things.

When I worked at CHAB radio in Moose Jaw (10KW 800KHz) I had the pleasure
of dechipering a 30 second tape loop from Finland...  Our signal was buried
under a 100 odd KW Russian and could barely be heard.  I didn't get out the
call sign but the voice was familiar and it spoke English.

I'll take their word for it :-)
