We seek to understand and document all radio transmissions, legal and otherwise, as part of the radio listening hobby. We do not encourage any radio operations contrary to regulations.
Always consult with the appropriate authorities if you have questions concerning what is permissible in your locale.
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.

7509.000 KHz unknown dasher. Weak. Frequency varies a bit. Normally this is about where the Russian C beacon might be.

HF Beacons / Re: T
« on: April 20, 2017, 1307 UTC »"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...
