Not sure if this is a new one for me, or the return of an older beacon. Dashes just under one second long, about every three seconds.

Anyway a good catch.

It did some more measurements, and the period was almost exactly 3.0 seconds, the on time was around 0.65 seconds. It has since faded out at 1350z. I seem to have a narrow window in the morning when I can hear the 8 MHz beacons.
