Alaska AM DX Log

1539 SEN Trackside Sydney, 3KW ERP Non Directional at 7000 miles between 1330 and 1415UTC Tue Aug 30 in McGrath, Alaska. Will post audio later.

I saw ERP even though its non directional because the tower is 330 feet making it nearly triple the height for 1/4 wave for the frequency, which is about 125 feet... so the power off the antenna is more then the 1KW fed into it.
