Default R. St. Helena received in South Africa

This is my first time listening for this station. I am currently
taping it also. I am in the state of Oregon so likely as far as
possible away from the signal as the majority of listeners....that is
unless they live in Hawaii or Japan. Signal is 7 out of 10. I am
listening on a Sony ICF-2010 with just the "reel" antenna supplied
with radio. I am able to make everything out but there is quite a bit
of static and audio problems likely caused by the signal having to
travel so far to get to my radio.

I have only made out 2 songs so far, Hot Chocolate "You Sexy Thing"
and Carole King "Far Away". They seem to be playing a lot of adult
contemporary or R&B type stuff. No rock

Anyway it is quite exciting being able to finally listen to them after
being a SWL for over 10 years. Can't wait till next year. Maybe I
will have a good outdoor antenna by then!
