Hearing M this morning at 0320Z in Denver area.

Seemed to abruptly quit around 0329.  Had fair-good signal when it was in a bit ago.

I have the "M" beacon in here now sometimes very strong. It's punching thru a fairly high
noise level. Clearly audible.

Heard for a bit yesterday morning (Monday 5/6/13) intermittently around 1700 - 1800 Z.  I had left the rig on that freq the last time I was listening around so I randomly turned on the rig yesterday and left it there.  M was weak and competing with the noise, but on occasionally from across the room I could hear it pop in from time to time. 

Had the rig on most of the afternoon but only heard M during that short time frame.

M beacon copied in central Oklahoma 0220 Z Sept. 24, 2013. Signal steady at S3. There seems to be a very faint digital signal underneath it.
