Last Friday (20.Oct.) saw the completion of the new Short Wave Tower outside
of Radio St Helena. This Thursday Robert Kipp made the very first Short Wave
transmission from Radio St Helena since 1999. The test was made on low
power using only 100 watts from a Yaesu FT897D Transmitter to an Opt Beam
OB3-27 Antenna system. Local Radio Ham Tom Moyce at Thompson?s Hill
confirmed the test transmission which took place at 12:12 GMT . Later on,
Simon Oliver, Head of Energy, and Derek Richards, Head of Public Works, came
to connect the Earth cable to the transmitter and Amplifier System and
undertook other electrical work.
