Default AFN Diego Garcia

Thanks to dxAce for the heads up on Diego Garcia.
Very much back on air with strong signal here.
4319 came booming in well before sunset here with a strong signal, perhaps
indicating they are using quite a high power TX, maybe 10 Kw.
In the morning I am getting 12579 quite clearly as well.

Diego Garcia is 9,600 miles from dxAce in Michigan, so that is a good catch
= well done!

A more challenging DX catch for me is AFN Pearl Harbour which is 11,600
miles from my QTH (path over the Antarctic).
10320 comes in quite regularly but 6350 is more difficult and less
frequently heard.

13362 AFN Guam was also coming in nicely this morning - doesn't often come
through on this frequency.

Have fun and good DX
