RWANDA R. Rwanda, Kigali, continues on 6055 with nx in English heard<br />

daily at 1835 UT.<br />

(Victor Goonetilleke-CLN, <strong>DX</strong>plorer July 2)<br />

The evening 'window' for hearing R. Rwanda clearly on 6055 here in the UK<br />

has been extended by half an hour following the closure of R. Slovakia<br />

International. Whereas Kigali was previously clear between 2027-2059, it<br />

is now clear 1958-2059, after CRI signs off at 1958 until R. JPN signs on<br />

at 2059. R. Rwanda itself signs off at 2100 UT.<br />

SAINT HELENA The month of June has been very successful for the R St.<br />

Helena Day Revival Project. With the invaluable technical help of DJ0KM,<br />

Don Taylor, of Garant-Funk (see "CQ-DL", 7/2006, p.475), we were able to<br />

conduct a full power txion under the exact conditions waiting for us at<br />

Radio St. Helena. We transmitted with 1000 Watts output in USB into a huge<br />

dummy load. The modulation was examined and found to be excellent. The<br />

entire SW broadcasting facility, with the one exception of the 3-element<br />

beam antenna, will be shipped to St. Helena via England at the beginning<br />

of July. After the antenna tower arrives on the island, the foundation for<br />

the tower will be built. After I arrive on the island, the entire facility<br />

will be put together and tested.<br />

Our plan is to REVIVE the world-famous "RSH Day" SW txions in USB on<br />

11092.5 KHz on Saturday, 04 November, 2006 at the "usual" UTC times with<br />

broadcasts first to Europe and then to North America (just as in the<br />

1990's). However, we also plan to broadcast on Sunday, 05 November, 2006<br />

at about 0800 UTC. We plan to first broadcast directly to JPN and then,<br />

immediately thereafter, to New Zealand. The exact UTC-times are not<br />

certain as yet. The exact beam directions (long or short path or both) are<br />

not certain as yet. These Sunday programs will be the usual complete<br />

programs and may be "one-time-only" programs. They will also be as a<br />

"Thank-you" to the JPN Short Wave Club for their tremendous help in making<br />

these "RSH Day Revival" broadcasts possible and to the New Zealand Radio<br />

<strong>DX</strong> League for their support over the years.
