23:18 UTC Conditions have been favourable. Their transmitters are off frequency. Try 13264.0 kHz. It is coming in good to North America as well. And that transmitter is off frequency as well. I send them an e-mail last month identifying their transmitter frequency issues but I have not receive any response from anyone.

I've not had very good luck getting Shannon on 8957, but it's been very good recently here on the U.S. West Coast on 5505 kHz. Usually audible from an hour before sunset and well into the night.
