I have it on 8349.74 atm, seems to be about every 5 seconds. Rather weak overall, although occasional periods of a good signal.

My report echoes Chris's - not bad signal at times but
I got a late start before tuning to this frequency. The
beacon might've been stronger a little earlier.

Here is a short recording of about 30 seconds
