ZT beacon is up on an empty spot on the dial, 13556.5 at somewhere around 4mW (~0.6 volts peak into a 50-ohm load.) I heard it on the N8GA KiwiSDR receiver in Ohio. I was beginning to wonder if it was really true that a 4mW skywave could be heard 900 miles away. Antenna is a half-wave dipole sagging between a tree and a bamboo pole. The feed point is about 12 feet off the ground. I’m open to suggestions.
