Welcome to the Forum!!
Hard to say if it's a beacon. Where are you located? What sort of radio and antenna are you using? Do you know what bandwidth the receiver is set to?Just to be sure, is that 12.2MHz and is it a weak signal or strong? Have you checked any of the online SWL lists to see if it is a commercial transmitter? How often does the signal beep? Is it a quick "dit" or is it a longer "dash"?
Did you try any online SDRs to see if you can pick up the same thing? I looked at one SDR and did not hear anything on 12,200 KHz

Also, we keep a list here of known beacons in the sticky at the top of the topic lists https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,9478.0.html
