Also audible in Central Europe, here in Leipzig/Germany, not so good under
9VG cw/sitor utility station, but enough for QSL@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx , from
where my QSL was returned in no more than 10 minutes!
 I heard them until 1508 UTC. As Chagos/Diego Garcia has something like
UTC+5, this may quite correspond to local sunset.
 Daytime/nighttime is defined locally for each tx, as I have read lately
somewhere.
