Re: [IRCA] Radio St. Helena
Excellent, we achieved great reception in the UK countryside a few years ago, last year was not so good. Mike From: Paul B. Walker, Jr. walkerbroadcast...@gmail.com To: Mailing list for the International Radio Club of America irca@hard-core-dx.com; NRC a...@nrcdxas.org Sent: Monday, 3 September 2012, 15:08 Subject: [IRCA] Radio St. Helena I have been in touch with the staff down there. They have an Interim Station Manager as Gary Walters went back home to the United Kingdom. Radio Saint Helena will be shutting down, according to Ralph. He says Our Final Broadcast will be on the 25 December to coincide with our opening on the 25 December ’67. This will make us 45 years of broadcasting. The AM signal on 1548Khz with 1KW will be shut off for good. As I understand it, at some point, a government funded radio station, operating on FM will launch. Ralph tells me that the Shortwave broadcasting mast has been dismantled by Cable Wireless, but he's talking to local ham operators to see if they can lash up something for their final broadcast so they can get on Shortwave. NO promises though. That being said, if the Shortwave makes it on December 25th at all, it is likely to last time it will ever make it on air. My voice was featured on the last Radio Saint Helena shortwave broadcast and even if they don't make it on SW this time, I will likely have my voice used on the local MW broadcasts. I just thought I'd pass the word. Feel free to pass this to other DX lists and other folks who might be interested.

Re: [IRCA] Radio St. Helena audio
Wow, great reception of St. Helena, Colin! That's what they sounded like in Puyallup in 2007, but I couldn't get anything approaching that level this year. Was it at that level past the Christmas music to the end of the transmission a few minutes later, with the St. Helena theme music and God Save The Queen sign-off ? At my location the level dropped a bit after the Christmas song.

So, Is Radio St Helena only on once a year? It seems to indicate the SW is only on once a year, but there's a local AM or FM outlet to Radio St Helena.

Re: [IRCA] Radio St. Helena on now!
This paragraph here, taken from their website seems to indicate they have a local station on during the rest of the year..especially the part in bold. Because of the very long Revival and Double-Anniversary transmissions in 2006 and 2007 and the *especially heavy workload at Radio St. Helena during the entire second half of 2008, * it was decided that RSD 2008 would be reduced to the above schedule. It is hoped that the times have been chosen so that reception in all areas will be acceptable.
