Currently pretty active at 16:12 Z 19July
Thanks for reporting on this one and bumping the thread. I try to listen for these new ones at home before resorting to the kiwi SDRs
It seems to be very intermittent in operation plus being a weak signal down here adds to the difficulty.

Pretty good signal with some quick fades rolling through with the signal jumping between S9 and S7. Initially listened to some male singer belting out something that sounded very patriotic and orchestral. Then a female announcer in Korean who has been going on for a bit then some more music.

Hearing this on KFS SE right now, pretty strong. I don't know if it is new or if it is an old resurrected beacon such as these from our list

I'm not sure if I've heard that one. The last active dasher+ beacon was UFO
4094.0 id's UFO TMP three times, after TMP two numbers are sent then back to dashes. On the air around Nov 2020

The first page of this thread has a fairly detailed post about how it's built. I mainly catch it before sunrise and after sunset
