There haven't been many reports on this guy!
Seems though some others may be capable of hearing it.

Very strong signals this evening from Shorty!
Same order with transmission beginning on the minute for 45 seconds or so.
It is very strong also on remote receiver in Ohio.

Easy Copy!

Also noted - It commences transmit on the first second of each minute.
Didn't realize this until copying it on a standard radio. The Excalibur, being SDR
has a slight delay during processing, so this wasn't noticed at first. Its frequency
appears to be dead on without any noticeable drift.

Good morning copy!

Still a fair signal from this dasher.
Copied only in the evening and not heard much after morning twi-light.
Frequency is very close to the reported 7998.3 kHz.

TESLA how was the signal strength and readability of these?

Not sure if this is an un-reported one or a frequency change according to the Currently Active Beacon list.
The signal is fairly strong at times with fades. Dasher perhaps 1/4 second every 2 seconds or so

Anyone else??

Ok who's the wise guy!!      
Heard to dashes closer together and then silence.
If you're an alien give me three quick dashes and or please call my counselor.

At 2149 UTC the signal suddenly disappeared.
Also some sporadic commercial traffic now overlapping 13000 kHz
Nothing further heard as of 2200 UTC

Dasher 13000 kHz  CW  2115 UTC  1-20-2014

Very consistent over the last hours with very little fading!!!!
Solid copy, with one second long dashes repeating every ten seconds
Hesitant to report this as it seems so strong and consistent without any interference either side of frequency.
Could this perhaps be some kind of commercial signalling or marker function?  Maybe a real beacon!!! 
Has this been previously reported ? Any takers

Good Job on "S". Its nice to finally catch up with one once in awhile Chris!
I also have caught beacons by using the waterfall. It makes covering a slice of
frequencies much easier these days. I would definitely miss it now.
