Radio St Helena Day 2010 CANCELLED

[dxAce]

Radio St. Helena sincerely regrets to have to inform radio listeners
everywhere that

>> Radio St. Helena Day 2010 has been cancelled << .

This very difficult decision was necessary, due to severe technical problems
with the shortwave antenna tower. RSH is quite confident that RSD will be able
to continue in 2011.

We at Radio St. Helena are also VERY SAD to have to announce the cancellation of
RSD 2010. The problems with the tower holding the 3-element Yagi antenna are
such that we simply had no choice. There is no chance to fix the tower in the
next six weeks, but RSH is quite confident that we will be able to broadcast a
RSD 2011 program next year. At the moment, I am investigating the possibility of
setting up a wire antenna as a temporary measure, but I am not at all sure
whether we will be able to do that. The technical resources on the VERY REMOTE
island of St. Helena are not so good. If anything needs to be ordered from
England, then it takes a lot of time and effort.

========================

So, still a REMOTE possibility that Robert will be able to set up at least a wire
antenna.

Stay tuned...

Meters time megaHertz = 300

1 meter = 39.4"

Velocity of propagation in a copper wire?
