Transmitted power is 20 W to a dipole antenna. <!-- Modulation is F1A keying (frequency Shift Keying), with a shift of 250 Hz. [http://www.oz7igy.dk/] --> The beacon is frequency- and time-locked to GPS. The sequence is programmed to send PI4 , followed by a short pause, and then the call sign and grid locator sent in CW, then a pause, and a carrier until start of the next cycle. PI4 is a digital mode specifically designed for beacons and propagation studies, similar to JT4 and WSPR. To decode PI4, tune 800 Hz below the nominal frequency.		* The first radio propagation beacon on 40 MHz is OZ7IGY in Jystrup, Denmark (JO55WM) and transmits on 40071 kHz <s>40021 kHz</s> (40.071 MHz).
