rebroadcast.

[2120z: 17.8 KHz (LANT) VLF FSK MSK broadcast; faint but somewhat readable
on KPH SDR (California). It's about 3000 mi/4900 km from the orbit area to
KPH; and about the same distance from the orbit to the UK. Maybe implying
LANT 17.8 off CONUS is sometimes readable in the UK and western EU too.]
