Freq. 7998.2  khz  time started hearing it 1330 utc , I just checked and it is still on at 1400 utc.
I haven't listened for these beacons in over a year I would guess.  I noticed no one has mentioned they have heard it.
Maybe no one actually has checked to see if it is there.

It seems to be very intermittent in operation plus being a weak signal down here adds to the difficulty.
