I think this is my first reception of this beacon, dashes about once per second. 1115 UTC 12 Nov 2020.

Hey Chris,

In the list of beacons in the stickie it said "...dash rate is 60 per second when it speeds up to the 100 per min that is a signal that a CW message will soon follow...."

Any recollection of the timing between CW messages and the content of the CW message?

No idea, sorry. Not even sure if this is the same beacon  ;D

Are you posting about Windy on 4102.85 or are you saying that the dasher format beacon on 4094 is now sending CW??

Syfyr is longing  ;)  for  a formal name for this beacon

I’ll throw out the following and you can add in your own suggestions:

Desert Dasher
Happy Dasher
Daring Dasher
Distant Dasher
Deliberate Dasher
