RX is disconnected at the moment due to severe tropical thunderstorms.
Previously tried all the AFRTS frequencies but have not had Garcia.
Sometimes get Guam
Will check again when conditions improve and let you know.

10320 Khz AFRTS Pearl Harbour received at this QTH @ 0500 Zulu with

Quite unusual, as this 3 Kw TX is 18,500 kilometers from here (11,500

miles)
and both the short and long path lies over the poles and the auroral

belt.
At this time of the year the signal gets a greyline boost,
as it is sunset in Hawaii and sunrise in Montagu.


Are you able to hear AFN on 12579 or 4319 from Diego Garcia? Are they

still
active on either of those two frequencies?

I've not seen any reports of them there for a very long time.
