DIEGO GARCIA   12579U   AFN  Reply just in from IC2(SW) Marshall C 
Bennett.  Beside confirming my reception, he also says "The signal is sent 
to us from the states then routed through us after we've applied our 
station I.D. to broadcast to the island.  The Frequency
4.319 KHz is our nighttime frequency from 2100 to 0900.  Our daytime freq. 
is 12.579 KHz....If
you desire more info you can e-mail me at bennettmc@xxxxxxxxxxxx"  So I 
guess thats 1500-0400 UTC on 4319, and 0400-1500 UTC on 12579.  (Valko 1 June)
