Default Radio St. Helena loud and clear

Well it's a total daylight path to you right now and if they are using a
beam Yagi beamed to New Zealand that won't favour you. Will keep listening
and hope things improve for you later when they beam to N. America.

I phoned in at 1820 and they put me on the air - first report they had and
sent greetings and congratulations to them.
Nice signal, about "S5" with the preamps off - well modulated but a bit
muffled.

Very weak here, John. Looking forward to the later broadcast.
