Antennas are down temporarily so I jumped in the car, parked on the street, right in downtown Milwaukee just up the street from the tallest building in Wisconsin with my IC706mkIIg and 40 meter Workman Hamstick. Kind of a mini DXpedition with WIFI access! LOL Very little noise surpisingly.

Simply a 25 minute band scan of the 49 meter band.

6000khz R. Havana Cuba 0300z English VG S9+20
6010khz R. Sweden 0300z G in English S9
6020khz V. of Vietnam 0300z VG in Vietnamese NEW! S9+20db from Vietnam??
6030khz R. Marti Greenville, SC USA G in Spanish S9
6040khz Vatican Radio from the Vatican G in English S7
6055khz R. Ext. de Espana, Spain E in Spanish S9+30db

6075khz Deutche Welle from Portugal or Engand (?) VG in German S9

6110khz R. Havana Cuba G in Spanish // 6060khz but not on NASWA database
6120khz ?? in English not on NASWA db, sounds like Trans World Radio. Fair in QRM of another station in Spanish (not on DB)

That's it, getting cold in the car and engine noise just kills the DX.

I'm hearing it nightly and it's coming in strong enough to start bleeding over local 1610 TIS stations on my in-car radio, pretty annoying but I do like the music tropicale, LOL.

Is this is a form of subtle Cuban jamming? Sort of a round robin... I'm sitting parked on a Chicago highway stuck in rush hour traffic because I missed the TIS statement but I'm listening to cool Cuban music, so I'm happy, but I'm stuck in traffic because...

I've heard this on the 530 KHz TIS channel in the past, as well.

From Robert Kipp we learn that Radio St.Helena Day (RSD) 2009 will be on Saturday 14 November with the following schedule for this year's Party On the Air (all times are UTC);

• 2000-2100 to India/SE Asia

• 2100-2200 to Japan/Asia

• 2200-2330 to Europe

• 2330-0100 to North/Central America/Caribbean

All transmissions will be on 11092.5 USB. There is a newly designed RSD 2009 QSL ard sponsored by the Japan SW Club. 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 not be verified and recordings will not be returned. In Euro countries, include 5 Euros; for others 3 US Dollars will be required to cover the postage costs. Reports should be sent to Radio St. Helena, P.O. Box 93, Jamestown St Helena STHL 1ZZ South Atlantic Ocean (via United Kingdom and Ascension). EMails and phone calls from DXers everywhere are very welcome during the broadcasts. A special email address for RSD 2009 will, probably, be announced in October (n.b. nothing announced yet, as far as I know...jjz). Robert notes "Gary Walters and his team at Radio St. Helena wish everyone excellent listening conditions, hope that you enjoy the programming and that the sunspots will be kinder to us this year"

Unfortunately this station continues using really bad transmission times to the Americas - the East will be in full darkness, which is going to make hearing it difficult. Best to try for the earlier transmissions.

QSLs can be very slow to come from St.Helena, as many DXers have reported. As I understand it, supply and mail ships stop at St.Helena only a couple of times a year. They do come eventually though.

Good luck to everyone who tries for this one! Remember it only happens once a year. 73 Mike ]]> Shortwave Broadcast ka3jjz http://forums.radioreference.com/shortwave-broadcast/163310-r-st-helena-day-rsd-2009-a.html http://forums.radioreference.com/shortwave-broadcast/163123-new-b09-schedules-posted.html Thu, 29 Oct 2009 01:28:31 GMT Dan K4VOA has posted the first set of B09 schedules in the now-famous spreadsheet found here...

Hi All
I run :: Royalty Free Music Radio - Quality Entertainment with NO Recurring Fees royalty free music radio in the UK on the internet but ideally would like it to be heard on an ordinary radio, is there a legal way for someone in one country to tune into my station on the internet and then relay it on shortwave so it can be received on a fairly standard portable radio with shortwave on it? during UK daylight hours?
