First of all I must say thank you to Chris for making a stand alone page dedicated to this topic, much appreciated Chris. Also I tried to hear JC3 2075 and IC1 on 2115 last night over this way and nothing heard from 0900z onwards.
Of interest is
1817KHz with a miss firing beacon, maybe a flat battery or transmitter issue, sending "TMT" then next night "EIE" then later that same night "EIM" then back to "TMT, it's very strong here from 0840z onwards up to 569 report at times, be interested if anyone over west coast USA and Canada hearing it?
Both beacons
DN3 on 2565 and
RO3 on 1759KHz were both running continuous transmission for hours last night/morning my time, both first noted at 1445z and 1428z respectively and still running continuos at 1700z.
Another one of interest is
AFVI on 2153 which has poor morse spacing, the AFV is clear but the end can either be interpreted as AFVI or AFVEE, no number suffix noted, probably like 1817 and has a fault?
A reminder when logging is make absolutely sure you have the call sign and frequency correct, have noted two beacons on the same frequency when propagation is good so you must sort the two different calls out. An example of this was March 18th 2019 with
KQ0 2595 1452z and EM1 2595 1550z both clearly defined, this may suggest and extended propagation range? Another example is March 17th log with
AN6 2265 1450z and BP8 2265 1500z both clearly defined, in fact BP8 transmitted only five seconds after AN6 keyed off.

The above are new loggings and have been added to my list. Interested in west coast USA and Canada loggings between 0830-1900z to see if I can hear same this way in eastern Australia, would be appreciated...
