AFN heard here on 12759 at 1415 and Diego Tower 13254 heard at 1425. Also heard
here yesterday during the same time frame.

I'm always interested in hearing Diego Garcia, besides being an interesting
place, it is perhaps the farthest SWBC station from me at about 9620 miles.


AFRTS Diego Garcia here in the lower Midwest with a fair signal now at
1445...I've also occasionally been hearing them lately with a much
poorer signal around 0000 on their night freq of 4319.

I think they're about the closest thing there is to an antipodean
station for a lot of the US, so always impresses me to hear their
modest signal at all. Anyone know what their power is...1 kW? 3 kW?
Passport and WRTH don't say, but I see to recall it's not that much.
