ST. HELENA FM DX. Can you advise if your members are interested in FM
DX? If so I have a proposed challenge.
Saint FM is one of the worlds smallest FM stations, based here on the
Island of St. Helena in the middle of the South Atlantic. Apart from on
the island the only way to hear us on FM is DX.
I know long FM skips are sometimes possible so would be interested to know
where is the furthest that Saint FM has been received on FM. Is that
something to which your members might like to respond? The best I know of
is about 350 miles out at sea (by myself), but we do receive continental
African stations here at times so I know greater distances are possible.
I'd be interested to hear about past reception, but also would be happy to
cooperate with members who wish to actively seek reception. I could also
incorporate it into the programme I present on the station.
Please note that the station is also available via Internet streaming, and
via relays on Ascension Island and the Falklands, but I am only interested
in FM DX from the main transmitter on 93.1 MHz.
Other information that may be useful:
TX location: 16 degrees south, 15 degrees 45 minutes west (more
specifically, High Knoll Fort, c 1000ft ASL)
TX ERP: 250 watt
Polarisation: vertical
Broadcasting hours: 24 hrs
Station website:
Note that Saint FM is and independent radio station; the island's only FM
station. It should not be confused with 'radio St. Helena', the government
broadcasting station, which transmits on 1548 kHz and occasionally on
Shortwave.
Please email me back to discuss. Regards, John Turner
