It deserves it's own space for anyone who might want to provide corrections or counterpoints that would just derail the original post about a beacon frequency.  Thanks!

29 NOV 2021:
1122 UTC: Windy sending S
1125 UTC: "A" back on 2097 !
1206 UTC: Weak signal from the Desert Whooper.

Great to see the band back together again 

It is great!

Hearing a "Q" right now (0400Z) on 4094.02.
Actually, have a trifecta of "Q", "DW" and "H" with Windy nowhere to be heard.

73's

Windy seems to be having battery issues today. Right now it is sending "S" about 1 minute apart.

That beacon also drifts a lot as the sun gets higher in the sky. I've seen it go from 2095.6 to 2096.1 in the morning.

An old favorite has returned, first noted in central Arizona, good signal with slow, deep fades over the holiday weekend. 0220 UTC 11-29-2021.

Thanks for posting this! It's awesome that the A beacon is back

Token - thanks for posting a direct link to the video. You've create so many videos over the years that
it would be hard to easily find just one.

I'm guessing it was Coxie you heard and the key click is actually due to the fact it is solar powered and the battery is dead or removed.
