Great Signal!

Enjoy!

2000z time pips clear then signature tune
2002z welcoming speech starts with fair reception
2003z - they must have swung the beam as reception becomes very weak
and unreadable.

Sadly their schedule doesn't beam South to me = pity

I just brought up an azimuthal map centered on St. Helena and it looks as though
you might have had better luck off the back of the beam when aimed at the USA.
But, based upon reception here, that antenna certainly has some weird
directional characteristics.
