I suspect that even their ERP won't be quite that strong.

I wouldn't expect it to be, as the signal is meant to be radiated
vertically, rather than at an angle. Anything we hear in the lower 48 is
probably a sidelobe of the main beam.

I was surprised to hear that they had been radiating at 6.9 MHz. I had
understood that they were going to be working at 2.8ish and 3.1ish. I have a
friend who's up there doing research this week, and I doubt he'll get
anything out of the higher frequencies.
