Some reception reports:
Reception here in the north island of New Zealand not great but could
discern and identify many of the songs and two ID's heard (1841 and 1929
UT). The spoken dialogue was tricky to make out. I was fortunate enough to
be at Bryan Clark's rural (and electrically quiet) property at Mangawhai
100km or so north of Auckland. At 1830 UT "waltzing matilda" was played
and the Beatles numbers "Get back" at 1839 UT and "Hello goodbye" at 1849
UT. An Irish song made famous for my generation by Thin Lizzy "whiskey in
the jar" was played at 1931 UT. At 1855 UT fellow NZ Dxer Peter Grenfell's
voice was heard in what could have been a pre recorded message. "Kare Kare
Ana" a NZ iconic song was played at 1853 NZl. Generally poor signal but
fortunate to hear what we did.

R. St. Helena 11092.5 USB November 4th and 5th , 2006. 1935-0100*
Reception ranged from barely heard to fair. Best reception from 0000 until
close at 0100. Songs, interviews, listener emails (heard gh's name
mentioned). The way announcers said "R. St. Helena", at times, sounded to
me "R. Tanzania". Closed with male announcer talking about 2007 being the
double anniversary. Big double anniversary celebration. Also, "We are now
closing our txion to North America. Goodbye from R. St. Helena". Whole
time I listened I didn't hear anything about the weather or boat races.
Reminded me of a pirate bc. However, interesting DX.

11092.5 Radio St. Helena, at 2344-0014 UT on Nov 4, tuned in just in time
to hear my name mentioned by Robert Kipp along with Jerry Berg, Adrian
Peterson and Arnie Coro followed by some music. Usual blend of greetings
to listeners, music and brief talks including an interview with the
Captain of the RMS St. Helena. Nice to have this one back. A very special
thank you to Robert Kipp for the creativity, imagination and the
implementation of restoring this favorite of many back to the shortwave
bands. Fair signal on my E1 from an outdoor garden area atop my son's
apartment building in Georgetown.
