Default Diego Garcia top DX catch

Wonder if any of you fella's can pick up Diego Garcia as you wake up
this morning on 12759 kHz?
If you can, it's a top DX catch at only 3 Kw output and about 9,600
miles away from you.
It's coming in strongly here at 0900z, so give it a try when HF
propagation lifts up for you after dawn. Good luck!

Also heard here this morning at 0500z is AFN Pearl Harbour on 10320
kHz, which is 11,500 miles away from this QTH.

Then 5765 kHz AFN Guam at 1600z last night, also a nice catch here
8,700 miles away.

Good luck, have fun and great DX!
