I have not heard A in quite some time, but it's coming in with a fair signal. No sign of any of the 4096 beacons this morning.

A Beacon 2097.3 khz 02:25 utc 9-16-14
I noticed the 160 meter ham band was active tonight so while reading this post I thought this A beacon might be wort a try. Sure enough it is coming in strong here in Montana tonight.  CW Letter A repeated about every 10 seconds.
