Jan 12 0140 utc GT in the clear Q5 copy FREQ. 4070.3 khz
Here we go...be interesting to see if ZN pops up as well.
-
What's the frequency, Kenneth?
Maybe put them in the subjects/titles of posts? I like to scan the topics to see what beacons might be running. I'm lazy ;D
-
Interesting... I am hearing GT at 0147z. It is coming in with a fair to good signal with the NRD 545 and 43 mb dipole, but barely or not at all with the netSDR and sky loop antenna, which usually does much better at 4 MHz.
-
Jan 23 time 1255utc s6 on the old HQ 180 S meter
-
Jan 31...1215 utc...weak but good copy...this beacon has been very consistent...
Z seems to have gone away...one always wonders what happened to them.
-
feb 24 0300 utc some good fad ups

Fade in/out is when I noted greatest signal differences between antennas of different polarisations, however, both of yours should be mostly horizontal polarity, one with a high angle of radiation and one with a lower.

GT heard at 1217z on 3 Mar 2017 with a very weak signal.
-
March 10 Good copy at 1200 utc...with static levels rising I wonder if I will hear GT at all this spring and summer.
-
March 11 time 1130 UTC...GT solid copy...
I'm surprised that only a couple of others have reported GT...
I got up early couldn't go back to sleep so decided to see if it was in there...

I have definitely been trying!! ;D

GT or TG doing well here tonight @ 0223, S5 with lots of static crashes - 4070.4
-
March 19 time 0200 utc freq. 4070.3 GT very nice copy Q5
-
March 21 time 1150utc. q5 copy S6 on meter
-
March 27 Time 1100 utc...GT sure was doing well S3-s5 on the old HQ180...
It surprises me that so very few reports have been generated...it has been heard in a number of states
and Chris has been able to pull it in...Chris probably could hear the Gods whisper to each other with his listening station and abilities back in Maryland.
-
April 3 time 1130 utc GT emerging out of the static Q2
Condx on the bands have not been real good with D absorption extending way up in freq.
-
After some diligent monitoring at various times over the past week or so I cannot hear anything, let alone a beacon on 4.073MHz CW.
Looks like it's a North American region thing as it's not in the western Pacific or SE Asia. Band has been open as numerous Chinese M89 beacons plus Israeli defence etc in the 3-8MHz sectors.

Yes, it is definitely a North American thing. Also, these beacons are generally very low power (under a watt, many are 100 mW, some even less), and a tough catch for me on the East Coast. It would be impressive to receive them at your QTH.
Your best bet would be A on 2097 kHz, as it runs high power, by beacon standards anyway. It is the most reliable here.

Hearing GT barely making it out of the noise at 1325z. About 10 mins later it came up, clearly audible for a few minutes then back into the noise.
I hear this one in the mornings sometimes, not sure if it's a 24/7 beacon or daytime only perhaps. Glad something is there (at 4 MHz), as I don't tend to hear the 4096 beacons like I used to....
-
GT popped up out of the noise for a few minutes around 1056z this morning, 27 Apr 2017. A very good signal for the brief few minutes it was here.
-
Nice copy at 1150 utc...
-
With wwvh 2.5 Mc in Hawaii S8 I decided to tune into 4070.3 khz...GT was a solid copy 1130 utc
I haven't bother to listen down there for a while...
-
May 14 time 1030 utc...got up to take a wizz and turned on receiver and
there she blew...nice copy...very little qrn...nothing else heard on the band.
-
Heard GT briefly this morning (16 May 2017) around 1107z.
-
Chris caught GT early this morning also...at least you and I hear it...
-
May 19 1140 utc very nice copy
-
Was able to catch this one briefly just before 6 a.m., 1200 utc.
73, Mark

May 21 Time 1210utc...very nice copy on GT...
-
May 23 1240 utc not moving S meter but solid copy
-
May 25 Time 1150 utc solid copy about s4 on R4B receiver ...
-
GT was great copy even with static at 1100 utc
