Default AFRTS (USA Armed Forces radio) on Shortwave?

Is this page still accurate? Has anyone in the USA ever heard these
broadcasts and can report back on the signal quality?


I regularly listen to AFRTS from Iceland from where I am in Ireland, a
thousand miles distant, on 7590 LSB. Given it's an omnidirectiona output
and only listed as 10kW, I'm reasonably impressed at the quality of it
most nights.

I'm listening to it as I write and I show 7590 USB with nothing on the LSB.
I'm not sure, but ISTR that sometimes they have been known to put different
programs on different sidebands?
