Dec 28 Tim 0230 utc on 4070 khz  caught ZN with a Q5 signal not strong but every ID copied for
the time I listened.

It must be a very low power beacon because one a few listeners have logged it up on HFU.
Condx must have to be quite right...this winter so far the 80 mtr Ham band has had some pretty strange moments
which is probably normal, perhaps as the winter goes along condx will be more stable...you have to hike HF because of its changing
personality, I know that's why I like it.

Feb 7 Time 1030 utc...4070khz  ZN was sure coming in good...looks like it has settled down on its
inital freq. when I first heard it. With condx very long on 4Mc I often hear W at 2200-2300 utc. I'm hoping to catch ZN
in the twilight also but that hasn't happened as of yet.
