I haven't been listening much lately but I did tune in "A" last night around 0100Z and it was there in the clear - not very strong but easy copy.  I was plugged into the multiband dipole which goes down to 3.5 MHz - not ideal for that freq, but I copied it fine just the same.

Good listening, all!

Nice beacon but not much of a challenge.

Even the tards with the Obama phones can probably hear it.
First letter of the Alphabet, it is good practice for them.

A means AZ.

38 watts output (about). Not mine, but I know all about it - it had to get a new p.a. and ident keying method, as the Monsoon t-storms and/or keying transient glitch kept zapping its high-pwr. mosfet p.a, so it got fixed last month and should blare away for a good while now.

So is it 38W or 15W?  I know 3dB won't make a world of difference, but I have seen both power levels mentioned.  Either way, it's QRO!

I like the fact that this "old timer" is still running - has been a long time....
