** SAINT HELENA. Radio St. Helena (RSH) needs our help!!! RSH no
longer belongs to the government but rather to the company "St. Helena
News Media Services", whose CEO is Mr. Stuart Moors.

On Aug 23 I spoke to Ralph Peters, the station manager at RSH, and he
told me that RSH had suffered a ten percent budget cut and that the
Board of Directors of the owner company will hold a meeting very early
in September.

He also said that he is still trying very hard to somehow reinstate
the annual shortwave broadcasts of RSH but that it is a very difficult
fight (since he has no transmitter at present) and that he would be
very pleased to receive emails from radio clubs in support of the RSH
shortwave broadcasts. There is a photo of Ralph in the studio at
www.news.co.sh/about%20us.htm

************
PLEASE send an email expressing the support of your radio club for and
the importance of the annual shortwave broadcasts from RSH. PLEASE
send the email to Mr. Ralph Peters at: "Ralph Peters" radio.sthelena @
helanta.sh

PLEASE send a COPY of the email to me at: "R. Kipp" RDC-Roberts-Data @
t-online.de

PLEASE send your email to Ralph by 31. August 2005 at the latest.
