Prezados.

Portugal tambem é mencionado, somos poucos mas BONS.

Reception in Sweden this special evening.

Transmission beamed to New Zealand (180 degrees) at 1800 was very well heard 
in Sweden on various locations.I have checked with persons and different 
places. Best reception was in southernmost Sweden. In Norrkoping good with 
various local disturbances. A recorded message from The Governor - Mr 
Michael Clancey - was heard followed by several wellknowned tunes -Waltzing 
Mathilda - The Beatles etc. Some prerecorded messages was heard. I had the 
opportunity to speak to both Mr Robert Kipp and Mr Anthony Leo (former Stn 
Manager) and wished them success in the very early minutes of the broadcast. 
At the end of the programme promotion was made by The Postmistress for the 
new stamp release.

Transmission beamed to Japan had almost the same good quality as the first 
transmission. A recorded message from the Japan Shortwave Club was heard. 
Interview with Mr Otaki (made at the DSWCI meeting in May 2006). Just before 
2100 - Mr Michael Martineau spoke about the Napoleon Museum at Longwood. 
Reception in Irkutsk - Robert Ross in Canada - in Netherlands also good 
reception - as well as in Portugal. Short part of Rolling Stones. Good 
reception in Germany - Wolfsburg as well as in Vietnam. A greeting was send 
to Sweden and Lennart Deimert and Jan Tuner - cofounders of R St Helena Day 
in the early 90ies!! Later on call from Athens. Reception in South Americas. 
This broadcast ended at 21.47.

Tony Leo started the Europe-transmission after the traditional "Life on the 
ocean waves". Then Robert Kipp with some greetings from Japan - Finland - 
Netherlands - Norway - USA - Japan etc. John Ekwall made a telephone call to 
the station. Very good signal in Germany. A list of listeners from the 
Scandinavian were mentioned by Tony Leo. Robert had a greeting in German. 
Tony Leo greeted Danish Shortwave Clubs International.

Made a check with receivers around the world - best next to southern Sweden 
was Rochester in NY-state at 2240.

A German CW was heard then greetings to German DX-clubs - Harald Kuhl. Also 
heard in Ecuador. A thank to Andrew Weir shipping for the logistics to made 
this event possible. Announcement in French " Ici Radio St Helena (not Radio 
Saint Helene as expected) followed. Celine Dion in French then. Interview 
with the French Consul on the island - Michel Martineau - the curator of the 
Napoleon Museum on the Longwood Plateau. Members of DSWCI were mentioned - 
among others Anker Petersen - Bent Nielsein - Erik Koie - Tor-Henrik Ekblom 
etc... Shakira sung then after greeting to Japan. Beverly Francis - St 
Helena's Postmistress - about St Helena stamps. A greeting from Frankfurt 
Main Club in German (30 years this year). Presenters during the first 
halfhour was Tony Leo - then Ralph Peters followed by Laura Lawrence. Robert 
Kipp said goodbye after this 90 min transmission and hope that everyone had 
enjoyed this "R St Helena Revival Day 2006".

Antenna moved for the North America - so signal now much poorer in Sweden at 
23.29 but 2 min later back in good signal strength and started with Peter 
Gabriel. Governor Clancey with his speech.

Sorry readers - must end here this long evening after almost 5 hours 
listening to R St Helena. Time 0043 in Sweden.
