HI syfr,
Tnx for the reports from Lompoc area - "Windy" (W and the temp/battery data) a friend and I actually DFed it in 2000 and all I'll say is that it is in the Mojave and its dipole faces E/W. At least 1-watt. The "owners" fixed it up and better with the battery v. numbers since late 2017. It was once on 4095.5 or so long ago, clustered along with a very busy 4096 region once ago.
The 4-sec dasher is a daytimer "Coxie" (once 24/7) down in a remote section of Joshua Tree NatPark put on in 2001. N/S facing dipole. A deacde ago its battery failed and we just decided to let run day-only but it gets out owing to being about 800 mW output with a tuned L/C filter to keep its harmonics weak.
Chris' beacon list atop this page should help you ID some. 73 MB
