2097.305 KHz  A letter beacon, fair signal, 15-20 dB over the noise floor, mild fading

The 4 MHz beacons are going through deep fades. On other nights I thought I had seen something new, a dasher around 4096.2 and it is there tonight. Maybe Coxie running high in frequency? Just reread and it was a daytime only beacon.

4095.9-- KHz   Viking, briefly there
4096.265 KHz  dasher, new to me
4096.360 KHz  Hexie, weak

Dang, was trolling through the Auroral Chorus site again and saw that I had overlooked the beacon called Haystack:

"HAYSTACK bcn runs 3 sec dash on 4096.35 kHz 24/7 late 2015".  http://www.auroralchorus.com/4096khz3.htm

That must be what I thought was Hexie (which is a shorter dash).

So a summary from their web site:

4095.900 KHz  Coxie, 4 sec dash, day only
4095.940 KHz  Viking, 3.3 sec dash, 24/7
4096.240 KHz  Hexie, 1 sec dash, 24/7
4096.350 KHz  Haystack, 3 sec dash, 24/7
4097.250 KHz  Inyo Whooper, day only


Right now on my waterfall display I can see both Viking and Haystack. It is just possible that Hexie is coming up out of the noise every so often but I think I see a good trace on the Waterfall display.
