Default Radio St. Helena

Thanks for that heads up dxAce = should be a fun day for everyone.
I wonder if they will have the phone in that they had before - very
interesting to hear people from all over the world.
4th November also happens to be my 69th birthday, so hope for a red letter
day.
Is 1800 the earliest time they will come on air. Reception for S. Africa
will probably be best from sunset around 1600?

Personally, I'd rather have seen a reactivation of Tristan da Cunha, but
ya
can't win 'em all!
