Have it good on the Northern Utah SDR at 0239Z.  Often see it there and on the CA SDRs.  I'm in CO and have heard it only once here locally in late fall....

Seems to be a regular.  Also see DW nicely there as well.  Saw DW fade deeply on the SDR while the 4094 beacon was good and steady....both likely not located in the same area, I'd think.

Beacon was showing up well on the KFS SE and Omni Kiwi SDRs but it is showing a little high in frequency at 4094.06 KHz

I just came back from 11 days of camping and exploring in Utah. I brought along my KX3 and the 20/40 meter Par End Fed. There was a very low noise floor and I did hear a good signal on 4094 at roughly 5 AM but it did not last long.

Desert Dasher
Happy Dasher
Daring Dasher
Distant Dasher
Deliberate Dasher

 I would have to look at my log...but a few days ago it ided UFO TMP...UFO TMP... UFO TMP...
after TMP two numbers were sent which was the temperature...

It seems to have two speeds ... a slower dash and then a faster dash...I have caught the ID during both dash rates.

Thank you for the additional notes! I've updated the beacon list.
