ST. HELENA   Radio St Helena Day revival on Sunday 4 November.
23 October 1999 was the last worldwide SW txion from Radio St Helena, and
this sadly ended a yearly event which began in 1990. The revival is being
planned to go worldwide on Sunday 4 November this year, transmitting on
11092.5 kHz in Upper Side Band mode.
The first construction works began a couple of weeks ago at Radio St
Helena in Pounceys, St Helena, with the pouring of the concrete slab,
which holds the base to the SW txion antenna. This antenna will be erected
later this month when the man behind the revival of the Radio St Helena
Day, Robert Kipp, arrives from Germany.
This project was made possible entirely by generous donations. The antenna
was funded by overseas SW enthusiasts and the concrete slab holding the
base was sponsored by local building contractors and friends.
After this year's revival, Radio St Helena plans to continue this annual
worldwide txion, which is very popular with SW radio enthusiasts and local
listeners - who can hear peoples' greetings from all parts of the world.
Next year will be an extra special SW txion, which will coincide with
Radio St Helena's 40th anniversary. More information of the Revival of
Radio St Helena Day, including the schedule, can be found at

CHINESE OTH RADAR TEARS UP LOWER HAM BANDS.
IARU Monitoring System seeks over-the-horizon radar reports.
IARU Region 2 Monitoring System Coordinator Bill Zellers, WA4FKI, says
Amateur Radio stations on the West Coast and as far east as Arizona have
reported hearing over-the-horizon radar signals on the low bands. VE7BZ in
British Columbia recorded the radar's signal October 1, 1353 UTC, on 3795
kHz.
The radar, apparently located on Hainan Island, Peoples Republic of China,
has shown up on 160, 80 and 40 meters and sometimes is quite strong.
"We're talking about signals 40 over 9!" Zellers told ARRL, adding that
the radar is obliterating 160 meters in the Far East. On 80\75 meters it
appears as high as 3.8 MHz, while on 40 meters, it's showing up on the
lower 25 kHz or so. Typically there are about 50 seconds between signal
pulses. He said the radar signals are strongest on a heading of between
285 and 320 degrees from California or Arizona.
Zellers requests reports from stations hearing the over-the-horizon radar
signals as well as any other signals that do not appear to belong on the
Amateur Radio bands. He suggests the following format when reporting: Your
call sign, time in UTC, frequency, emission type, signal strength,
propagation and signal bandwidth in kHz.
