Radio St. Helena 11092.5 USB heard here at 1800 sign on. Very, very weak.
Surprised to hear them as they are beaming due south to New Zealand.

Currently using the Drake R8 and 200' W-E wire.

I'm hoping that's a sign that they will come in like gangbusters for the
North American transmission. I've heard nothing yet and the transmission
to Japan would have been one of my better chances.


How so? The path doesn't even come close to North America. The long path comes
back to St. Helena through South America.
