Easier here : Bergen is only 1500 km away. Transmission times are perhaps 14 to 23 utc, not sure, but  yesterday 6th of March,the station was back after a few days off (as far as I can hear it).
Usually, the signal fades up slowly here during the afternoons, but at a time near sunset, it becomes strongly disturbed by powerful stations, not often on 5895, but quite often on adjacent frequencies. Then those stations sign off. So you best bet should be after 22 utc, I think.

Today 07 mar 2019, at 1410-1420 here : weak carrier, music barely heard at times.
