The station’s website: http://www.ekhokavkaza.com/ Everything is in Russian there.

Here’s the schedule: http://www.ekhokavkaza.com/HowToListen.aspx The SW frequecies are 9525 and 9780. VHF (FM) is mentioned, too but without exact frequencies. Must be that semi-clandestime Radio Green Wave set up by Tbilisi.

Time is given as 2100 to 2200 Moscow time. I assume that is 1800 to 1900 UT.

Radio St Helena Day 2009

Radio St. Helena Day 2009 will be on Saturday 14th of November 2009.

The ‘Party On-The-Air’ will have the following schedule:
Time in UTC Target Area(s)
20:00 – 21:00 India / Southeast Asia

The transmission will be on 11092.5 KHz in Upper Side Band, as usual.

Radio St. Helena is very pleased to announce that the newly designed RSD 2009 QSL cards will be sponsored by the highly respected Japan Short Wave Club. This good news has been reported by Mr. T. Ohtake of the JSWC. It can truly be said, that without the very generous help of the JSWC, there would not have been a Radio St. Helena Day Revival in 2006.

To get a QSL from Radio St. Helena, you must send a written and verifiable reception report by AIRMAIL and include sufficient return postage. Email-reports will be not be verified. Recordings will not be returned.

In EURO-countries, please send a 5-Euro banknote. Otherwise, please send 3 or more US dollar banknotes to cover the required return postage.

The last two lines of the above address are very important and should be written as shown. Be sure to use sufficient postage on your letter to RSH.
Ask at your local post office for the correct AIRMAIL postage for your
letter to go all the way to St. Helena.

Emails and telephone calls from DXers everywhere are very welcome during the broadcasts. A special email address for RSD 2009 will, probably, be announced in October.
Gary Walters and his Team at RSH wish everyone excellent listening
conditions, hope that you enjoy the programming, and hope that the sunspots will be kinder to us this year.
