Is Iceland still broadcasting on shortwave?

Yes. You can check for the sked by searching for ISL in the
following doc:

Both the state run radio and AFRTS are on.

I'd like to hear the state run station. Any idea how hard it is to
receive from the Eastern US?

I haven't tried them in quite some time. AFRTS has been audible here.

I have picked up AFRTS with a strong signal here in southern California
on 13855 USB and 7590 USB but that was some time ago. I have not heard
them on 9980 yet but I have not tried.

If Iceland broadcasts in english I'll give them a try. Do they broadcast
in english? What do you think would be the best time for me to try to
hear them?

No English but 13865 at 2300-2335 might make it to you, or the 15775 b'cast at
1835-1905 might make it.

I tried today at just after 18:00 UTC on 13865 USB and had nothing so I
tuned in just before 22:55 UTC and heard them start up at 22:59 on my
atomic synchronized clock and they switched off at 23:29 UTC. Don't
understand Icelandic so no positive ID from me. Sounded like Russian or
some other slavic language. Not a very strong signal, noisy S3 on the
peaks.
