I'm not sure I've ever heard the short dasher on dot 6 but Hexie's one second dash is pretty reliable in the evenings here.

4096-7 kHz - Jim listen just after sunrise for the "Inyo Whooper" on 4097.25 daytime only within view if the Inyo Mountains,  Then about 0830 when Coxie down in Joshua tree 4096.0 or so wakes-up. The other unknown short dasher is there too - about 4096.6 or so - hrd on 21 June near Lone Pine Peak...

I may not be camping out there again until October. My next possible trip will be to the San Juan Mountains in Colorado later in July

Speaking of Arizona, have you heard the temperature beacon on 4079.6 at all?  I heard it a few years back when I was first told about it but in recent listening I have failed to pick it up.

Hearing the 2097 beacon sending "A" right now, signal comes through a bit then goes through a deep fade.

Using the NRD-525 tonight

I checked this morning, no A beacon. Nothing on 4 MHz, either.
