AFN, Diego Garcia - Chagos [Country #72]

American Forces Network on Diego Garcia, Indian Ocean is the only shortwave boradcaster on Chagos! Running just 3KW on USB, this one is not an easy catch. Actually I've been trying to hear the broadcas for couple of weeks with no luck.

Got them last night! Not very loud, and bit noisy, but solid copy for almost two hours.

AFN signal is recorded here: AFN, Diego Garcia - Chagos on 12759 KHz
