I have checked for this beacon, over the past week or so, using the details you have provided Tesla but nothing so far.

At 0020z it's only 11.20am in the morning here so the path would be non existent but have looked at various times during darkness.

Zero so far, not even a hint. Heard some Asians chatting on 8.350MHz USB but that's all... ::)

Good, as 1740z it's still dark on verge of Grey Line here so will have another shot at it... :D

Nothing on 8.350MHz CW for beacon "Q" as I monitored last couple nights around 1100-1240z and again in the mornings fringing the Grey Line 1530-1630z and not a thing. 

Interesting to note though, two Chinese men speaking on 8.350MHz USB in Mandarin at 1115z last night 5X6 report and around 0900z the night before they were chatting there too.

They may be connected with the Chinese military as M89 CW station was on 8.350MHz with "VVV WNF DE FXM" not so long back.

So "Q" must be over your way somewhere and not around Asia or the South/West Pacific region. ;)
