Dasher? 4110 1121z - Haven't noticed this one in a while, very weak, but there's something there.
Dasher? 4087 1123z - Might be closer to 4086.9, very weak, I think this has been logged by others once or twice?

I see ZN was heard...I got an e mail the other day saying there was a cluster of three beacons on 4070.3...this is possible and each is located in different places.
ZN is the lowest power one around 500 Mw but, ZT about 700Mw and GT 1.0 watts...

I can't confirm the accuracy of this e mail...but was told I could pass it on.

Thanks for the info about the three beacons on 4070.3, I will keep an ear out for ZT, which is the one I have not yet heard. Different locations would explain why I often only hear one at a time.
