CBC Nicosia CYPRUS uses Limassol Zyggi site in Cyprus on weekends only, i.e.
Fri/Sat/Sun in Cypriotic-Greel language to Cypriotic Nationals abroad in
Western Europe, see target azimuth 314/315 degr into England. This service
is part of the deal to use the relay site on the former (?British colonial)
island.

This is in service for at least TWO DECADES regularly.
