Lots of folks get a vicarious thrill from good reception reports so keep it up. You will be inspiring new listeners to step forward and share.

I was able to jump on the Utah SDR and hear "S". The frequency resolves to 7999.863

Thanks for your report!

I added it to the list here: https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,9478.msg27047.html#msg27047

Not sure if this is the same beacon with the frequency difference but I have a steady "S" beacon on 7508.9, quite solid at RST 569 here. One "S" about every two seconds. On the Airspy HF+ Discovery and SE/NW 60 ft longwire. Have it on the Icom IC-R8500 as well on the E/W 60 ft longwire but not as strong. 16OCT23 04:12z

Thinking on this beacon made my brain itch.... and it hit me... sounds exactly like a Russian MX cluster letter beacon. On a whim I went over to 13527.9 and 16331.9 on one of my other home receivers where I can currently copy those known S beacons from Severomorsk. This beacon is exactly in sync with both of them. Never believed in coincidences. And it being at a .9 KHz frequency fits. Sure enough, there are loggings for the Russian S beacon in the Russian MX loggings for 7508.9 KHz. My bad, I did not have that frequency listed in my MX beacon info.
