6626.3KHz I hear Rainy fading in and out
6626.4KHz I hear the unknown ditter
8494.800 KHz Russian beacon P back today, weak but readable
8495.300 KHz Russian letter beacon k. Briefly came in then faded out
8494.800 KHz Russian letter beacon P is a good 10 dB above the noise
2097.300 KHz letter beacon A mild fading with peaks about 10dB above the noise
8495.200 KHz Russian letter beacon F with fading but staying above the noise floor
8494.800 KHz Russian letter beacon P is peaking 20 Db above the noise floor!
When I listened to it in 2014 it was on 4102.300 KHz so interesting it is lower in frequency. When I was listening today on the Mojave receiver the signal was getting weak but the pattern appeared to be:
W followed by dits for wind speed
W followed by dits for wind speed
W followed by dits for wind speed
W followed by dits for wind speed
W followed by dits for wind speed
TMP followed by Morse numerals
B followed by Morse numerals
Does that look right?

HF Beacons / Re: New W combined with TMP beacon?
« on: January 12, 2016, 0156 UTC »I think I have not heard Windy here for some time, I will have to look at some past spectrum recordings and see if it was there and I just did not realize it.
This evening I realized I had Windy, on 4101.92 kHz, sending its normal W followed by dits to indicate wind speed. After a few cycles though there were other characters sent. It is now periodically apparently sending Temperature (in the form "TMP XX") and possibly battery voltage (in the form "B XX.X").
Has Windy been like this for some time and I just missed it? Or is this a new Windy?
T!

A while back the W beacon seemed to be malfunctioning and was not even sending the letter W. I will have to check my notes but maybe the beacon owner performed an upgrade because of the breakdown.
EDIT
In July of 2014 it was working fine. In December it was malfunctioning. No letter W and the morse was very short
