The tsunami must have spared Diego Garcia as they are heard here up and
running
on 13254 at 1330. Male operator this morning. Signal not quite as good as
it was
at a later time yesterday, but hopefully it will improve.

Just curious. Do you have one of your Drakes constantly monitoring Diego
Garcia? I monitor the GHFS frequencies and have only stumbled on DG active
once.

No, it's just that they are usually active in the mornings and I'll park the R8
there for a couple of hours. They are audible here on an almost daily basis.

You're likely in just the right spot for DG to fade in around sunrise
your local time for a while. I find that sunrise in either one's home
area or target area is a good time to hear stuff that you wouldn't
otherwise. I can get a lot of stuff from the Middle East, like Saudi
Arabia's domestic service, around sunrise Middle East time (0300-0400
GMT). And around sunrise my time (1500 GMT or so) I get a lot of stuff
from East Asia like the Chinese domestics and Radio Free Asia,
occasionally I'll get AIR or Iran too around that time.
