I'd never gone listening for beacons before, and I found it a bit tedious waiting to hear the beacon across a bunch of bands. However!

20m
Madeira: 100w, barely heard the callsign.
New York: copyable down to 10w

17m
QRM that lasted for too long.

15m
absolutely nothing!

12m
California: 100w, just the call
South Africa: 100w, very faint
Madeira: 100w
Argentina: 100w
Peru: 10w!
New York: 100w

10m
Madeira: 10w!
New York: 100w

Since Madeira came in pretty well, I pulled up a few SDRs around there to see if I could be heard over that way. I tried 100w CW on 20, 12, and 10. Nothing. Oh well :).

I tried listening around a few other times this week, but didn't have the time / energy / attention to do a full survey.

Cool to give this a go, though!
