I can barely hear this when it comes up above the noise - but it's in there.  RR with a dash.

Very weak at this point.

 Kudos gentlemen!  The "RR-dash" beacon on 13562.90 kHz is located in the northern Mojave Desert of Calif. with approx. 10 mW to an inverted-L antenna cut actually for 3.9 MHz.  A series LC tuner matches the beacon xmtr. to the RG-8 antenna feedline, -- the xmtr is employing a  CB-14 (~27.125 MHz) (3rd overtone xtal) into divide-by-two (74HC4024) IC to 2N3904 final.

It runs 24/7 with outages for Dxing...

Kindest thanks for your reports here at HFU!
