<DIV><FONT size=3><FONT face=Verdana>Ressuscitar O Dia da Rádio Santa
Helena.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV>
<P><FONT face=Verdana></FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Verdana>Se bem que o indicativo ZD7 possa ser um velho conhecido
de muitos radioamadores, a Ilha de Santa Helena surge quase no topo da lista das
"mais procuradas" entre os DXistas. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Verdana>A Rádio Stª Helena possuiu um emissor de onda média e, nos
anos noventa, socorreu-se de um emissor de onda curta, por empréstimo, por um
dia por ano, para o que ficou famoso como "O dia da Rádio Stª Helena." Terão
sido, provavelmente, os primeiros programas de radiodifusão interactivos com
contactos internacionais com os ouvintes mediante telefone, fax e correio
electrónico. O cartão QSL da Rádio Stª Helena constitui uma preciosidade nas
colecções de muitos radioescutas por esse mundo fora. No fim de 1999, tudo
terminou, e o emissor e a antena foram desmantelados.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Verdana>O nosso novo projecto destina-se a tentar "atirar"
novamente a R.Stª Helena e a própria ilha para o seio da onda curtas. Por trás
desta ideia, estão a administração da estação e os amigos da emissora. Contudo,
todo o projecto terá que apoiar-se em patrocinadores e donativos.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Verdana></FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Verdana>Alguns radioescutas e clubes já prestaram o seu apoio ao
projecto são oriundos de países como o Reino Unido, os EUA, a Dinamarca, a
Alemanha, a Nova Zelândia, a Austrália, o Japão, a África do Sul, o Canadá, a
Espanha, a Holanda, a Itália, a Rússia, o Chile e o Brasil, e, de entre as
radiodifusoras, encontram-se como apoiantes a Rádio Mundial Adventista e a Rádio
Havana.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Verdana>O retorno destes programas constituiria a voz desta bela e
histórica ilha, e conduziria ao reavivar do seu comércio, serviços e turismo,
podendo inclusive proporcionar activamente a divulgação do radioamadorismo nas
escolas da ilha e, quiçá, conduzir à constituição de uma estação de club de
amadores.</FONT></P><FONT size=3>

<H1 class=title>Details of Radio St Helena Day 2008 confirmed</H1>
<P><FONT face=Verdana>Radio St Helena has set a date for the next
<STRONG>Radio St Helena Day</STRONG> (RSHD). RSHD was revived on 4 November
2006, bringing back the special annual worldwide transmission on shortwave.
</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Verdana>Last year’s transmission was another success and was held
later in the year (15 December) to coincide with Radio St Helena’s 40th
Anniversary (25th December).</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Verdana>Last year was also the 10th RSHD, therefore it was a very
special Double Anniversary. It was enjoyed by numerous presenters, who all gave
up their time to present and lend a helping hand to make the evening a memorable
one.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Verdana>The station has posted 247 Special Anniversary QSL
cards, designed by Robert Kipp, who initiated the ‘Revival of RSHD’.
Reception reports were received from various parts of Europe, Japan, USA and
Canada. Documentaries of the special broadcasts have been featured on
television programmes in Germany and have appeared on many websites around the
world; putting St Helena Island ‘on the map’.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Verdana>This year, it has been decided to host RSHD in November
after feedback from listeners in Japan indicated that December was too late in
the year to get a clear signal. Therefore, this year’s Radio St Helena Day is
set for Saturday 15 November. Radio St Helena Day 2008 will be broadcast on
11092.5 kHz in USB on Saturday, 15 November 2008 as follows :</FONT></P>
<UL>
<LI><FONT face=Verdana>2000-2100 UTC to Japan </FONT>
<LI><FONT face=Verdana>2100-2230 UTC to Europe </FONT>
<LI><FONT face=Verdana>2230-2330 UTC to North America </FONT></LI></UL>
<P><FONT face=Verdana>Because of the very long “Revival” and
“Double-Anniversary” transmissions in 2006 and 2007 and the especially heavy
workload at Radio St Helena during the entire second half of 2008, it was
decided that RSD 2008 would be reduced to the above schedule. It is hoped that
the times have been chosen so that reception in all areas will be acceptable.
The QSL procedure is the same as in 2006 and 2007, and the QSL address is
:</FONT></P>
