Not sure what other beacons are still on-the-air, but MP on 185.301 kHz 
and EAR on 188.83 kHz with QRSS-30 transmissions are doing fine, at 
least to NE IL. Propagation is pretty poor - on nights when little 
lightning activity is present the number of NDBs copied is way down from 
winter-time. Nonetheless signals are still there from some 25W beacons, 
even out to 1000 miles, and QRO stations like DDP in Puerto Rico still 
come in fine (so does Navtex transmitter NMR in San Juan) .
