The following was received from Robert Kipp regarding the Radio St. Helena
project earlier today (Sunday):
"Hello Fellow DXers,
Radio St. Helena informs all DXers that RSH has a "pile of envelopes (with
QSL's) just waiting to be posted". The delay, at the moment, is because the
good ship RMS St. Helena (the only official mail carrier), is currently in dry
dock in Cape Town (the home port) for some repairs. This means that the RMS
is way behind schedule in delivering people, cargo, and mail. When the RMS
does sail again to St. Helena, she will go straight back to Cape Town.
Therefore, the QSL's will not be posted until "end August / early Sep.". I
assume that
that means that the QSL's will be mailed (airmail) from South Africa, but it
could mean that the cards will not be sent until the RMS sails again to
Ascension island. From there, the QSL's would go to the UK and then on to the
rest of the world.
