Last year I heard a signal, but not enough to identify that it was
St. Helena.  I know it was them, as no one else was operating on
that frequency at that time.  The pirate wasn't audible here.
I didn't even try this year because I thought last year was the
final transmission.  Maybe they can be talked into doing a test in
the dead of Northern Hemisphere Winter and maybe the Spring?  That
few hours isn't enough!  I know that defeats the purpose of a
rare DX test, though.
