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.

Thanks, it should come in well as it has in the past.

Enjoy the broadcast(s), you should have a decent shot at hearing them all.

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

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.
