Well it's a total daylight path to you right now and if they are using a

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.

They played "Let it Be" at 1908! Signal is still very weak, but slowly
improving.

I'm hearing just a whisper of it now. Nothing copyable though.

You'll probably do all right at 2330 or earlier. Plenty of recognizable tunes and
station ID's at least in the 1800-1930 broadcast, and I expect they'll do the same
later on.

Seems to sign off with anthem, "My Saint Helena Island", and announcements by a
man and woman.

Just playing what seems to be filler music after 1930, getting ready for the 2000
broadcast to Japan, with an occasional ID tossed in.
