Ronald,
Thanks for the clearification. Don't forget that this area has been Danish for
700 years and Swedish 'only' for 300 years, and that the meaning of 'rå' can be
Danish. - Although, I think that it is 'rådyr', that is the right source.
Chalmers Tekniska Högskola og Forsvarets Materialverk experimented with long
wave commmunications with submerged submarines in the late 40' - beginning of
the 50' somewhere down the Swedish West Coast. This research was ultra secret,
but I don't know where it was conducted.
From the late 60' and onwards I sailed with a small Folkbåt up and down the
Swedish and Norwegian coastline, down to Smögen and Lysekil. I can't rembember
being ever 'restricted' in any way. I was close to getting married in Smögen,
bu the way.
Tom (of Smögen!)
