SAINT HELENA SPECIAL BROADCASTS AND QSL

There will be a new and interesting QSL card from R St. Helena for this "Revival" broadcast. It will take several months to process the reception reports, so please be patient. Only reception reports sent by regular mail will be accepted. Email-reports will NOT be accepted. Return postage is absolutely required and is "at least" three IRC's or "Greenstamps". "At least" means that RSH welcomes donations at any time and in any amount. All reports should be addressed to the Station Manager of RSH. The RSH station manager is a lady: Ms. Laura Lawrence.

Essentially all the equipment for the SW station will arrive on St. Helena on about Aug 13. A few days later, work will begin to dig the hole and pour the concrete for the foundation for the 12.5 meter tall tower from the "Hummel Al-Tower" company in  Germany. By Aug 15, the special, 3-element, mono-band beam antenna will have been constructed by the "OptiBeam" company in Germany. The antenna will travel with me on the ship to St. Helena at the end of September. I plan to arrive on the island on Oct 15.

I also plan to be active in the local evenings on the amateur radio bands in SSB with 100 Watts and a beam (I like the 20 Meter band) and hope to be able to use the call-sign "ZD7PU". Naturally any QSL cards for amateur radio contacts with me should be sent via the regular QSL-bureau or directly to me in Germany (with Return Postage).

The DSWCI will verify correct reception reports on these programmes by our special DSWCI QSL-card, if return postage (1 IRC, 1 U.S. Dollar or 1 Euro) is enclosed. Please send your reports to DSWCI, Tavleager 31, DK-2670 Greve, Denmark. (Ed)
