Weak copy here, but rising just above the noise at times to capture this:

Hi all, copying the CZ beacon here in South Central Pa. at 1814z.
very good signal right now and this area of the spectrum is rather
quiet today.

glad to here another beacon up will have to get back into beacon
listening mode here.

Beacon "CZ", 12/30/11, 11.428, 18:30+ UTC, s3, solid copy until 18:40 - then suffered slight fade into noise floor. Signal remains unbroken, just becomes faint on fade down.

At 21:47 UTC still solid s3 copy.
