Hard-core DX with a 22 cm antenna! CKZN St. Johns 6160 kHz copied with a...

Hi there, reception of this quality from CKZN, bearing in mind their TX power of 1 kW (currently stated as 300 W) has only previously been possible with a lonqwire antenna, of up to 100 metres. Here is an amazingly clear signal using the brilliant MegActive MA305 E-field antenna with a 22 cm long radiator element. Astounding. Extremely light, totally portable and powered from a USB power brick that seems to go on for days without needing to be recharged, it's perfect for DXpeditions. More to come. 

Recorded in the woods in Oxford UK on 03/06/17 at 00:12 hrs UTC using a Sony ICF-2001D receiver. Thanks for watching.
