I am copying 30meter beacon wa5djj(?) at 8pm cdt (0100 uct) on 10.140040 mhz.  Copy is somewhat broken but readable. Rec is Kenwood TS50 and 80/40 dipole.

Rec is set for 10.139500 khz USB. Argo set for 500hz center freq qrss 3, speed set for slow.

I bought one of Hans Summers" 30 meter beacon kits at FDIM. This is first 30 meter beacon I've seen. I am in central Arkansas, beacon I am watching if I have call right is in New Mexico.. I have capture set for one capture each 30 min.

Signal I am seeing is a form of differential cw. Low is carrier base, high is QRSS3 ID, shift of 5 hz.

Must get busy and put up 30 meter antenna.
