There will be a special email-address exclusively for the evening of RSD 2010. As soon as Gary sets up this special email account, will be published.<\/p>\n<p>The RSD 2010 QSL cards are being sponsored by the Danish ShortWave Club International. Reception reports for RSD 2010 should be sent with sufficient return postage to RSH using thespecial Airmail address via Ascension and the United Kingdom &#8212; exactly the same procedureas for the RSD 2009 reception reports. ALL mail to RSH should use this procedure. ALL 266 QSLs for RSD 2009 have been mailed and should now be arriving around the world.The sunspot minimum between sunspot cycles 23 and 24 is the longest in history &#8212; much to the dismay of shortwave listeners everywhere. This minimum has lasted since 2007 and is still ongoing. There are not very many sunspots to &#8220;help&#8221; propagation, and there is no real sign of significant change.<\/p>\n<p>The UTC-times for broadcasting to the various target area have been very carefully selected to to have the very best chance of good reception in each area. Also, we need to have the RSD broadcasts one after the other.After RSD 2009, it was decided to change the times somewhat and to move RSD from November to October (as was the case back in the late 1990&#8217;s &#8212; Thanks, John). RSH hopes that everyone around the world has excellent reception conditions during RSD 2010 and is looking forward to your emails and also, if possible, to your telephone calls.<\/p>\n<p>Gary Walters , Station Manager of Radio St. Helena via Robert Kipp<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[UPDATE: Radio Saint Helena Day 2010 has been canceled.
