I am a radio personality here in the USA as well as a SW and MW DX’er.<\/p>\n

I appeared on the 11092.5 USB during Radio Saint Helena Day 2009 and have several short recordings, which are attached. That’s my voice doing the station identification\/promotional announcements.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Very cool, Paul! It’s quite amazing to hear studio quality audio from Radio St. Helena Day as so many of us had to strain to hear their signal from across the Atlantic! Glad you were able to be a part of such an amazing little station.<\/p>\n

I miss those Radio St. Helena Days<\/a> and, though I know it’s doubtful, certainly hope the station considers firing up a shortwave transmitter again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
