Although the frequency is much higher it may be relevant to mention that several stations in ZL are getting consistent reception of the Galveston Texas NDB on 206 kHz. This is reported as a 2kW beacon which presumably means there wouldn't be more than 500 watts or so in each sideband. Distance is about 12500 km and signals peak just before Galveston sunrise. I don't have any data on GLS's antenna but if it's anything like most NDB's would not be hugely efficient. Mike ZL4OL
