Dear friends, DSWCI member Robert Kipp has been helping the new station manager at Radio St. Helena, Ralph Peters, to clarify the QSL situation now that Tony Leo has retired. I forward their joint status message dated May 02, 2004, for your information.
Best 73, Anker Petersen Chairman DSWCI -------------------------------- RADIO ST. HELENA sends QSL's: ---------------------------------------- Radio St. Helena has mailed the last batch of QSL cards for their special broadcast of October, 1999. The cards have been mailed with St. Helena postage stamps and transported by the mail ship RMS St. Helena. The ship arrived on 29. April in Cape Town, South Africa. The QSL's will be forwarded via AirMail on about 30. April. Along with the QSL's sent by the (now retired) former Station Manager Tony Leo in 2000, 2001, and 2002, this batch of QSL's will now take care of all known outstanding reception reports for the 1999 broadcast. The new QSL Policy of the new Station Manager regarding the special shortwave broadcasts from RSH is: - 1999 and 1998: RSH can still verify these broadcasts. - 1997: RSH will TRY to verify. No promise of success. - 1996 and earlier: RSH can NOT verify these any longer. The Station Manager regrets that 1996 and earlier can no longer be verified, but due, in part, to many changes at the station, the information is no longer available, and time has simply run out. It would be very helpful, if you would confirm receipt of your QSL by email to R. Kipp, and if you do not receive your QSL by the middle of June, please send him an email. Radio St. Helena thanks ALL its friends around the world for their interest in St. Helena, for their patience over the years, and for their help in clarifying the QSL card situation. Good health and good DX to ALL of you.
