7039.390 KHz  T beacon. Readable but with deep fades.

"T" has never been positively identified as one of the Russian Naval or Cluster beacons, some say it is one of the usual beacons with a transmitter fault or miss key.  

Previously "T" has been logged on the following over the past few years:

3.508MHz  4.558MHz  6.934MHz  6.944MHz  7.039MHz  8.165MHz  8.495MHz  & 10.470MHz all CW mode.

You might like to check some of the above to see if there is a same propagation path, presuming they are active that is... ???

The T beacon being Russian is not a good fit:

The frequency is 10khz low for M and 90 khz high for K and the Russian beacons are in 100 khz increments. Probably chosen due to the old tech receivers of that era.

I have no recent recollection of hearing K in my home area but I heard it when in Fiji's Yasawa Islands.

I have heard both M and T at the same time with no apparent timing relation of the dashes.

Someone could use a web SDR to monitor the Russian beacons at the same time that T is heard and look for any other correlations.

I wonder if T spots would align with Bear H flights.

7039.300 KHz  T beacon? Weak but steady. A bit stronger than the Russian M beacon. Been a while since I've heard it

Even with all the RTTY signals  T stood its ground as a good signal...
