April 17 Time 0100 Utc 7039.4 Khz q5 copy.
-
7039.390 KHz T beacon. Readable but with deep fades.
-
"T" has never been positively identified as one of the Russian Naval or Cluster beacons, some say it is one of the usual beacons with a transmitter fault or miss key.
Previously "T" has been logged on the following over the past few years:
3.508MHz 4.558MHz 6.934MHz 6.944MHz 7.039MHz 8.165MHz 8.495MHz & 10.470MHz all CW mode.
You might like to check some of the above to see if there is a same propagation path, presuming they are active that is... ???

The T beacon being Russian is not a good fit:
The frequency is 10khz low for M and 90 khz high for K and the Russian beacons are in 100 khz increments. Probably chosen due to the old tech receivers of that era.
I have no recent recollection of hearing K in my home area but I heard it when in Fiji's Yasawa Islands.
I have heard both M and T at the same time with no apparent timing relation of the dashes.
Someone could use a web SDR to monitor the Russian beacons at the same time that T is heard and look for any other correlations.

April 20 T is S4 on my Sx 190 into 90 ft inverted L up 25 ft
time 1325 utc
-
I wonder if T spots would align with Bear H flights.
-
April 22 Time 1158 utc weak copy q2 must be do to solar storm condx
-
May 10 2140utc nice Q5 copy
-
7039.300 KHz T beacon? Weak but steady. A bit stronger than the Russian M beacon. Been a while since I've heard it
-
the "T" on 8495kHz from 1620z 12 Dec 2017
-
Dec. 13 time 1440 utc T on 7039.4 khz q5 punching though those whisper beacons
-
Dec 15 1400 utc s6 on Drake R4B 7039.4
-
7039.320 KHz T beacon. 25 db over the noise, stronger than the Russian M beacon.
-
7039.300 KHz T beacon. 10 db over the noise
-
Even with all the RTTY signals T stood its ground as a good signal...
-
Dec 19 1400 utc...nice solid signal S6 at times 7039.4 khz
-
the "T" on 8495kHz at 1630z 19 Dec 2017
-
"T" on 8495kHz fade in 1627z 20 Dec 2017
-
"T" on 8495kHz at 1430z 25 Dec 2017
-
"T" on 8495kHz at 1515z 26 Dec 2017
-
Dec 29 Time 1400 utc very q4 copy on T 7039.4 khz a dash every 3 secs...
I use to hear the Russian F beacon around there in the winter time but sure haven't for a long time.
Part of my problem is those Whisper Beacons on around 7040 khz just screw things up, it used to be a fun freq.
and lots of Qrpers got together there but now the Whisper beacons are there...
So at least I hear T now and then.

So where is good old "T" located?
After an absence of some years it suddenly reappears, hopefully someone in Russia or former CIS can give us an answer? 8)
