Fair to good copy of NZ at 1114z on 5 Jan 2017. It is great to hear some more 4 MHz beacons again!

Jan 11 time 0330utc while reading a book I had the radio set on 4070.3 khz and ZN started coming in...
it has a chirp to the signal, must be a cold battery or something...maybe R, or GT or P will pop up as well...
I just never know what I'm going to hear when condx seem to favor this beacon.  I notice GT ,R and P seem to be stronger signals.

ZN strong this morning, 1440z.  A few S-units above the noise on peaks.  Also hearing Z on 4175, not as strong, with QSB.

ZN weakening in strength as I type - dropping into the noise at times.  Funny how propagation works sometimes....!
