Here is an item via the Worldwide DX Club:

Here is a very interesting item: for A04, the BBC plans to use a new
relay
in SANTIAGO, Chile!  For A04, the BBC plans to use a new relay at
SANTIAGO, 17605, 1900-2030, for daily sces to Brazil and the South
Atlantic. This will be 100 kW, azimuth 45 degr.
