4094 Beacon
« on: October 19, 2020, 1952 UTC »
I was looking for this and stumbled across a 1 beep per second beacon on 4094 kHz. Does anyone know what this is? It seems strongest around colorado/utah border area. (Not breaking DF rule just general areas)

2354 UTC, 30 NOV 2020, very good rx here in Denver. I'm guessing from the reports that it's likely somewhere in the mountain west rather than the desert SW.
