Heard locally here @ 1532 UTC, 26 Nov, 2016.  Center freq 6498.65 kHz.  About 0.72 sec long dash sent every 3.1 sec.

Buried inside a Russian AT3104D modem right now, but can tell it is there.

Rocky and Rainy are both operating, I can hear them right now.  Also the third beacon mixed in with them that no one has ever identified is heard.  I have not heard Hexi2k (6700.5 kHz) for some time, and I used to hear it quite well daily so I assume it is not operational.

(edit)  Never mind on Hexie2K, 45 minutes after I posted this Hexie2k came on or up out of the noise, and is now heard here.  However, the signal is not what I am used to for this beacon, could something have changed at the transmit site?

Is this a daytime only beacon?
