Is it worth moving some of the beacons which have been SK for some time now to the bottom of the list, to reduce clutter? I am thinking of GT, ZF and others, maybe even the beloved A.

I was thinking the same thing. Start 2020 with a clean list
Teotwaki:
First pass has been completed. I'll bet there are a lot more that have not been heard in a while such as these
7000.0 "Itchy" Ditter, 0.21 seconds long, sent every 1.39 seconds.
7000.65 "Stumpy" Ditter, about 0.17 seconds long, sent every 22 seconds.
7039.4 "T" beacon OK0EPB sends a marker each second, a longer one at the minute, and callsign.
7998.3 "Shorty" sends 18 dashes starting every minute.
8009.7 "Hiker", Dit rate is 100 per min.
13562.90 kHz "RR-dash" beacon is located in the northern Mojave Desert of Calif. with approx. 10 mW to an inverted-L antenna.

Yeah, 7000.0 kHz Itchy appears long gone. When it was active I could receive it anytime I looked for it, I have not seen it in a couple of years.
I strongly suspect both 2008.4 kHz dasher and 2018.3 kHz dasher are also gone, when they were active I could normally see them any morning, pre local dawn, if I went looking for them. That was for a couple of years, but it has been a long time since I saw them, and I have been looking. So I am pretty sure they are gone.
T!
Teotwaki:
Thanks Token! I was hoping you'd reply since you have a great listening setup and years of experience. I've made the suggested changes.
Let's keep looking at the list to see what else might be off the air.
