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.

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)
