Radio St. Helena loud and clear
Well it's a total daylight path to you right now and if they are using a
beam Yagi beamed to New Zealand that won't favour you. Will keep listening and hope things improve for you later when they beam to N. America. I phoned in at 1820 and they put me on the air - first report they had and sent greetings and congratulations to them. Nice signal, about "S5" with the preamps off - well modulated but a bit muffled. -- John Plimmer, Montagu, Western Cape Province, South Africa South 33 d 47 m 32 s, East 20 d 07 m 32 s RX Icom IC-756 PRO III with MW mods Drake SW8 & ERGO software Sony 7600D, GE SRIII, Redsun RP2100 BW XCR 30, Sangean 803A.

Enjoy the broadcast(s), you should have a decent shot at hearing them all. dxAce Michigan USA |

They played "Let it Be" at 1908! Signal is still very weak, but slowly improving. dxAce Michigan USA |

Plenty of recognizable tunes and station ID's at least in the 1800-1930 broadcast, and I expect they'll do the same later on. Seems to sign off with anthem, "My Saint Helena Island", and announcements by a man and woman. dxAce Michigan USA |

Just playing what seems to be filler music after 1930, getting ready for the 2000 broadcast to Japan, with an occasional ID tossed in. dxAce Michigan USA |
