Radio Vanuatu’s 3rd harmonic is making it here decently at 1835 UTC Jan 21st in Alaska  with just instrumental music.  This is a new time of day logging for them, but ve never heard 11835 this early, it’s been a night time thing.  The fundamental 3945 is reportedly only 2.5KW. The harmonic situation has been going on for 3-4 years
