Radio St. Helena Day 2010  :  Date , Times, and Targets
------------------------------------------------------------- 
RSD 2010  will be on  Saturday,   09. October 2010
=======================================
       Target Region       Times  (UTC )              Beam Heading
     ===========      ==============        ==========
       EUROPE              1900 - 2030 UTC            10 degrees

Gary Walters, Station Manager of Radio St. Helena, has just confirmed the 
above information,
and, as usual, Derek Richards will operate the RSD shortwave transmitting 
facility.

There will be a special email-address exclusively for the evening of RSD 
2010.
As soon as Gary sets up this special email account, we will publish the 
account name.

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 the
special Airmail address  via Ascension and the United Kingdom -- exactly the 
same procedure
as 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 -- 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 "help" propagation, and there is no real sign of 
significant change. The UTC-times
for broadcasting to the various target area have been very carefully 
selected to <try> 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's -- 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.
