Hello DX-friends everywhere,
many radio friends listened to the special RMRC shortwave broadcasts which featured many audio clips in studio quality from the original Radio St. Helena Day 2009 broadcast and comments on the clips by Robert Kipp. The broadcasts were on 9. Oct. 2010 ( 9770 kHz to Europe and 6130 kHz to North America ) and again on 23. Oct. 2010 ( 11640 kHz to Japan ).
The RMRC is very happy to have received so many reception reports from listeners from Europe to Venezuela, from India to Russia, from New Zeeland to Japan, from Spain to Ukraine, from Italy to USA, and from Canada to Sweden. Thanks to all listeners everywhere !
We will broadcast on shortwave twice a year from our DX-Camps in the Spring and Autumn. The next DX-Camp will be in May, 2011, and we will inform DXers about this event in the next months.
As a service to SWLs everywhere, we have now made a special CD regarding these shortwave broadcasts. For the RMRC, this CD is essentially a non-profit activity in support of the Radio St. Helena Day Revival Project. This special CD will contain the full one-hour shortwave broadcast in best audio quality. Additionally, Robert Kipp will tell the fascinating story of this remarkable and complex project and has included several pictures representing various phases of the project. You may remember that Helena Walters read a poem for children during the shortwave broadcast, and now on the CD, you can hear a new recording of Jodie Walters reading one of her own poems about St. Helena, that she wrote this Summer.
The price of this CD is just 15 Euro.
You can order the CD from our homepage or by sending an email to
