Default Isla de Pascua...

Fantastic tip = tks 4 the heads up Mark.
Hanga Roa has been my "Holy Grail" of catches for years, but alas, I have
never got it.
When I was really trying hard for it and researched it there was only one
flight a day there and that would mean me being up at 3.00 a.m. local time
to try for it.

Your info indicates there are perhaps more flights operating now with a
better chance of getting it.

My old radio pal David Norrie emigrated to Auckland - he is a serious MW
DXer. Have you ever come across him in club circles?
