Relatively new beacon(?) at 4103.03 kHz 0210Z sending "H" at about 4 second interval.
QSB, 589-559 over a period of several min.
Receiver KiwiSDR
Ant: 80m dipole at 15m
location: DM12
Beacon also heard about the same on numerous KiwiSWR sites in AZ, UT, WY, ID and TX.

In the chart below are the reports for beacon “H” from various Western US receiving sites recorded during the 24-hour period of 24 September 2020.
On the header of the chart RX is the Maidenhead Grid Square Location of each receiving site, time (Z) in increments of 3 hours for each observation and RST from each receiving site is based on the (Z) time of observation. NIL? indicates the presents of “H” but the inability to accurately assign a proper RST.

After looking at the 24-hour chart for a while, a guess would be “H” might be ground wave to DM44. Given the more or less constant signal over the 24-hour period, the exception of course is the time surrounding 0600Z, but during that time period a number of odd things happen with 4 MHz propagation.

I have what I think is very weak reception of H on 4100 at 1104 UTC 30 Sep 2020. Just above the noise floor. My first time receiving this one, I will have to check 4100 more often.

Good copy on the H beacon on the Sedona Kiwi SDR. Nice signal!
-
Anyone copying this one currently?
Been listening on the Sedona Kiwi but no joy
-
Nothing here in DM12.
