I can catch the BBC to Africa on 7160 here in Los Angeles and I love
it! I wish worldservice to the US would resume.

7160 is on from Ascension from 0300 GMT to 0600 for West and Central
Africa and then for another hour from the UK.

So it would appear the signal is going all the way around on the long
path to reach Southern California.

Not very likely. It is most probably coming off the back of the beam, as there
is no darkness on the long path to propagate to California.
