Thanks so much for the heads up Ace.
I must admit catching them now on their directional antenna is a lot
harder than when they used the old omnidirectional one.

I had thought in the past that they had used a pretty much fixed antenna aimed
at Ascension, as it was an utility transmitter that they were using at the time.

Still have my QSL card from catching them on 1548 MW.
