Very weak here around 1800z, and it just (barely) faded in.

At 1800utc or there about, I heard the dashes and then the letter M now and then.
Perhaps there are two beacons on this freq.. Makes for a good radio mystery
doesn't it.

strange I have not seen this dasher at  .80  the only beacons I have seen in the 7998 region has been the U, X and now P right around .50 and they have been pretty strong
and last well into the eveing sometimes past midnite local.
I guess I will have to keep an eye on .80 to see if I can see and hear this one.
