Unexpected Daytime Shortwave Catch: BBC World Service from Ascension Islands | August 29th, 2024

Here in the West Coast of North America, it's rare to hear the BBC World Service from Ascension Islands. Not only did I receive them but I received them during the daytime! Ascension Islands has 250 kilowatt transmitters but on most BBC broadcasts they are on half power (125 kilowatts).
Received in Northern Colorado, USA
Receiver: Sihuadon D-808 with the telescopic antenna

Definitely a nice catch. I am located in northern Montana and never seem to catch much during the day.

It's very hard for me to hear them to. Propagation must been my friend today and I realized it when Vatican Radio was booming in on 15565.
