Can you share a rough idea of your location? I am in Southern California and the 4 MHz beacons have dropped off of the planet for me.   ???  Big change in propagation from a few months ago.

The number of 4 MHz beacons is somewhat reduced, but a few are still around.  Right now, 2001 UTC and 1201 local, I can hear X on 4094.5 kHz, a long dasher that is probably Coxie (although it sounds different, more sag/drift on the front end) on 4096.0 kHz, Hexie on 4096.3 kHz, and Inyo Whooper on 4097.3 kHz.  All freqs rounded to the nearest 0.1 kHz.
