Since that is probably a spanish word, the e is pronounced like an A, so
I believe the pronunciation would be daysaychayo, all with long A's.

Hi Ernie,
I say it DES A CHAY O. Most fellow DXers up here in W1 land with more than a
few years in the game say it the same way.
The new DXers have a variety of ways to say it, just as they say the name of
VQ9. I've heard SHA GOS, SHAG OS,
SHAG US. (All with a short A, O and U) My friends
To everybody who took the time and effort to respond, either through the
reflector, or direct, thank you all.
I think I must have caught everyone on a slow news day, as I received quite
a number of responses, here and direct. Not all of them agree, but then,
that's democracy, Hi.
FWIW,
