That sounds right. But as I said in another post, the transmitter
is in no state to transmit.

CFCX @ 6005 khz -- 6005 is the BBCWS in house frequency for South / Central
America...

So I don't expect them to return to 6005.

Why they don't use an existing (but spare) MW antenna and a 5 kw transmitter
is a mystry to me.

Yes, but they have apparently been silent for several years now.

Because they were not a shortwave broadcaster, merely echoing a local
broadcast station to shortwave.

Because the main station is now owned by a different company, who likely have
evenles interest in shortave than the past owners of the station.

Because the main station has changed, callsign, frequency and format,
leaving little to connect it to the station that also happened to
rebroadcast its material on shortwave.

The real question is why they even bothered with a shortwave station in the
first place. Or at least kept it up as they years went by. The issue
of expending money on the shortwave station only becomes pertinent if
they have some reason for doing so.

No, it's a West Africa frequency from Ascension Island. But it's often
the only thing we can get in North America after they quit the Caribbean
schedule for the day.
