At 06:30 T was pretty strong but has weakened quite a bit by 07:00 PST. It is also low in frequency at 7039.260 KHz so it is likely a hobbyist beacon

No other beacons audible at the moment

I heard A on 2097 this morning. It's been there the last few mornings. Still nothing on 4 MHz. Very strange.

I've had to try checking off frequency a bit or my narrow filter settings exclude hearing some of these beacons. That is where my visual displays of spectrum and waterfall have helped. Also checking at all times of day rather than traditional windows has sometimes helped me.

I started listening around 05:30 PST and just around 06:10 I started to hear the "A" beacon on 2097.310 KHz come up out of the noise.

Surprisingly, I did not have A this morning. I tried for T on 7039 and didn't hear it either, but since A is usually a regular here, I took the lack of it as a sign of poor conditions.

Clear, cold and windy today.

Pretty sure that I am hearing Windy on 4079.560 KHz but the leading morse code characters sound funny: bad keying or some sort of distortion. Very weak

"A" beacon is strong on 2097.310KHz

Possibly hearing Kelsie on 4096.36 KHz

If I am reading my PX3's display correctly, Hexie2K has drifted up today to 6626.510KHz. The unknown ditter might be underneath it
