in the mornings at sunrise in the eastern CA desert, the eastern russian beacons on about 7038-7039 kHz (M, F, and a third I can't recall at this moment) are very strong and not same ones as heard in eastern USA at sunset there... often the three eastern Russian beacons are accompanied by an ongoing ham lsb qso daily there on 7040 LSB - like a sort of wierd broadcast, and these ham signals sound s.e. Asian (or Philippines) in language...
