** SAINT HELENA. Tnx to a tip from Robert Kipp, listened to the final hour of
Saint FM online. It closed down at 1600 UT Dec 21. Rather emotional comments
and plenty of resentment against HM government, as this community radio station
had been free to criticise it. In case the website survive a while longer, it`s

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1648 monitoring: On 5050 and 3195, WWRB, UT Friday Dec
21 at 0430, Pastor Larry Cain in SC (praise God!), is running a bit late with
his usual wrapup; finally ``amen & amen`` at 0434:05. Then Dave Frantz comes on
with a live announcement that WOR is coming right up after the computer
``spools up`` or something, and so it does, starting at 0434:58.
Fortunately the SW frequencies stay on past 0500 for the full WOR, and at 0504
Dave is back with another live announcement, about his NDB on 529 kHz, LYQ,
which he says he is keeping non all-night for the benefit of DXers, altho it is
not currently needed at his airstrip with no night flights scheduled, the
previous contract having run out --- but a new one will start in a few weeks.
Reception reports for LYQ are wanted via the website http://www.wwrb.org (I can
usually hear it weakly, het against Cuba 530).
Dave also muses that he started DXing in 1968, discovered SW by accident. An
old AM transistor radio of the 1960s or 1970s (but probably not modern ones)
can be forced to pick up SW by wrapping a few turns of wire around the
loopstick, and hooking that up to 25-30 feet of antenna wire. Near the
1600-1700 kHz range at the top end, he could then hear RHC, VOV and R. Moscow,
but never found out what the original frequencies were.
I explain: Some modern portable radios with poor selectivity also get powerful
6 MHz band SW signals above 1600 kHz, the usual formula being multiply by 3 and
add twice the IF, e.g. RHC on 6000 could appear on 1700 = x 3 = 5100 plus 2 x
450 = 900 leads to 6000. It`s not that they are really tuning SW; it`s that
they are incapable of rejecting such SW image signals, and adding more antenna
gain just overloads the units, making this more likely.
It`s a good thing I was listening on 5050, since as usual, the webstream
carrying WOR automatically cuts off at 0500 to the default KJV Bible readings,
whether WOR is over or not. Dave finishes at 0508 and SW transmitters go off.
Next chances for WORLD OF RADIO 1648: UT Saturday Dec 22 at 0230v on Area 51
via WBCQ 5110v-CUSB; UT Sunday Dec 23 at 0500 on WTWW-1 5830.

Radio St Helena Last Day as Live Audio Stream
SaintFM to close operations on 21. Dec. at 16:00 UTC
?
The new St. Helena Broadcasting (Guarantee) Corporation , Ltd. ?(SHBC) ?(Darrin
Henry (CEO))? has promised to make a live- audio- stream of the "Last Day"
broadcast from Radio St. Helena,? and? Ralph Peters, the RSH Station Manager,
has put together a special program with many interesting audio clips with?
greetings from people around the world.
?
This special program is planned for 25. December 2012? from 18:00 to 24:00 UTC
( St. Helena has UTC as local time) on 1548 KHz (1 KW) and (we all hope) in
Internet. ?
?
>From 18:00 to 20:00 UTC, there will be a repeat of the phone-in Christmas
>special program with Stedson Francis.? Ralph Peters will host the program live
>from 20:00 to 22:00 UTC and will present all the special messages from DXers ,
>DX-clubs, and "VIP's".? Radio St. Helena will be officially closed down by
>"Mr. Radio St. Helena" himself ? Mr. Tony Leo ? at the end of his live program
>from 22:00 to 24:00 UTC on 25. December 2012.? As of 00:00 UTC on 26. December
>2012, Radio St. Helena will be "Silent Key".
?
However, it is still not certain that SHBC will be able to provide the
live-audio-stream, as SHBC is still trying to get their new FM radio station
operational by Christmas Day.? Also, Mike Olsson announced on 19. December that
his SaintFM, the only other public radio station on St. Helena, will close down
operations ?on 21. December at 16:00 UTC. SaintFm has a live audio stream:
see?? www.saint.fm .? If SHBC is not operational by 00:00 on 26. December, then
there will be no public radio station operating on St. Helena over the
Christmas and New Year Holidays.
?
The Internet page to watch regarding the possible live stream by SHBC is,
probably, their ?home page ???WWW.SHBC.SH??? ?On the right side of this page is
a dark coloured box with the label "Video & Radio Webcasts / Watch and Listen
Here". Click on this box.? On the next screen, the audio stream indicator is in
the upper left. Your? browser may need some sort of plug-in to receive the
audio stream.
?
There will be NO reception verifications issued for this special RSH program,
and this will be the very last time to hear Radio St.Helena.?
