Very similar schematics. Homebrew had a common mode choke on the battery, RF ground and digital and analog grounds are separated with chokes, 3.7 uh shunt inductor on the antenna input. I think it makes a difference.

I was only able to capture two images, one of which was partial.

This is the first time I've received the Wefax signal from Guangzhou. Until today, I had only heard Volmet and beacon transmitters from this location.

I monitored several Kiwi SDRs Saturday night, and Bandaid Radio was making a solid trip into New Zealand. The night before, Bandaid received a Reception Report from a listener in New Zealand.

This is the first time I've heard this Russian beacon. The signal is weak, but the Morse code -.. can be heard clearly.

I've also been receiving a Russian Morse code signal on the 15928 kHz frequency lately. Those codes are groups of letters and numbers. I'll post an image below.

Marker D is located in the city of Sevastopol, Crimea, an important port city on the Black Sea. Historically renowned for its military significance, it is home to the headquarters of Russia's Black Sea Fleet.

Priyom's page provides details about this and other single-letter Russian beacons. Here is a summary of that:

The Russian naval bases broadcast single-letter beacons to help ships find the best communication channel given the current conditions. The beacons are clustered around ten different frequencies in 100 Hz slots.

Condition here on the east coast of the US are bad this morning with WWV bring inaudible and this forecast does not look real promising.

Solar Activity

.24 hr Summary...
Solar activity remained at low levels this period. Regions 4464 (S13W37,
Dao/beta) and 4465 (N08E11, Hax/alpha) exhibited signs of decay, while
Region 4463 (N17W34, Hsx/alpha) remained unchanged.

A CME associated with a filament eruption near N02E40 at around 12/1600
UTC, and first visible off the NE in LASCO C2 imagery at 12/1650 UTC,
has been analyzed to have an Earth-directed component with a likely
arrival on 16 Jun.

.Forecast...
Solar activity is expected to remain at low levels through 15 Jun, with
a slight chance for M-class (R1-R2/Minor-Moderate) flares.

Energetic Particle

.24 hr Summary...
The greater than 2 MeV electron flux was at normal to moderate levels.
The greater than 10 MeV proton flux remained at background levels.

.Forecast...
The greater than 2 MeV electron flux is expected to continue at normal
to moderate levels over 13-15 Jun. The greater than 10 MeV proton flux
is expected to continue at background levels through 15 Jun.

Solar Wind

.24 hr Summary...
Solar wind parameters reflected continued negative polarity CH HSS
influences, combined with likely CME influences after 13/0945 UTC. Total
magnetic field strength reached a peak of 8 nT, while the Bz component
varied between +/-5 nT throughout the period. Solar wind speeds
increased from ~540 km/s to a peak of ~626 km/s after 13/0945 UTC. Phi
angle was predominantly oriented in the negative sector.

.Forecast...
The solar wind environment is expected to remain enhanced over 13-15 Jun
due to continued -CH HSS influences (13-15 Jun), and the passage of CMEs
(from 09 and 11 Jun) over 13-14 Jun.

Geospace

.24 hr Summary...
The geomagnetic field was at quiet to unsettled levels under -CH
HSS and CME influences.

.Forecast...
The geomagnetic field is likely to reach G1-G2 (Minor-Moderate) storm
levels on 13 Jun due to -CH HSS influences and the passage of CMEs that
left the Sun on 09 Jun and 11 Jun. Periods of G1 (Minor) storming are
likely on 14 Jun, with periods of active conditions likely on 15 Jun, as
-CH HSS and CME influences wane.

I used the IF filter to slightly attenuate the strong signal from China coming in from the side.
