Thanks to dxAce for the heads up on Diego Garcia.
Very much back on air with strong signal here.
4319 came booming in well before sunset here with a strong signal, perhaps
indicating they are using quite a high power TX, maybe 10 Kw.
In the morning I am getting 12579 quite clearly as well.

They're certainly coming in well here, much better than when I last heard them
in 2000. Whether they upgraded the antenna or transmitter I don't know. Perhaps
just our current position in the solar cycle.

At any rate they were off for some time, I recall that the original antenna may
have been destroyed by a tropical cyclone, but not sure. If that was the case
they were certainly in no hurry to repair it.

Who knows how long they may stay on this time.
