I'm surprised that Wooferton can be heard at B.A.S. bases, my CW attempts to contact Rothera on 20m running 100watts at this time of the year (actually at ANY time of the year!) have all failed miserably.
I've seen a photo of the HF aerial system at Rothera - it appears to be a very spectacular log-periodic array - so I would guess they have HF comms difficulty.
I would point out that my aerial array is just a doublet running E-W, not quite as effective as Rothera's array!
