Moring all,
While listening for other things this morning I decided to take a trip around the beacons to see what was up. The following list is sorted by frequency order, and is not the order in which I received them. Freqs are rounded off to nearest 0.1 kHz as several of these drift a bit.

TMP always reads a bit high, it was about 19 F at my house at the time TMP was reporting 27. I never have figured the location of TMP, but it is always a bit warmer there than here.

Great list as usual and much appreciated.
Wish I could hear half of those beacons here on the East coast.
Thanks T
