Dec 23 time 1300 utc, nice fad ups starting at 1300 and now moving the S meter 1-2 units thats the strongest yet...
dawn enhancement. You have to love mother nature.

I think I'm going to give the 4070 beacon and the 4107 beacons two names respectively : Jack and Jill

I don't hear Jill often and when I do it is generally very weak but at least I have heard it enough times that I feel certain it is a beacon.

Am hearing a beacon signing NZ or ZN, letters run together that is above the 4070 dasher at about 4070.328.

Perhaps the dasher has changed ident or this is a new one.  0045 utc here

I have a beacon on 4070.43 at 1220z on 9 Jan 2017, sending CW. Very weak, not sure of all of the letters, but I do hear an R in there.
Faded out at 1227z.

Copying GT at the moment on 4070.3 khz...it seems to be  stronger then ZN that
pops up from time to time this morning on this freq. This has been interesting indeed.
