Well I spoke too soon in another thread, one of the 8000 beacons is back, the one with a dash every 50 seconds or so.

I am still picking up this beacon at 1939z, much later than usual. I mostly recall hearing it in the local morning.

It often sends what sounds like an A, or even an AE. Perhaps a wonky keyer.
