Hi Mike:

That's my signal .. you copied almost all the transmission " ku4xr ku4xr/b em75xr AR " the beginning is " vvv de "
I turned the beacon off around 10:10 pm your time, but I heard it thru the SDR fairly good for 20 watts CW..
Thanks for listening for the signal..

73 for now:

 Hi Andy,
 
 No copy until sometime at or after dusk, then I
 started to hear a cw 
 beacon on 476.51 on
 both my Kiwi and the Indiana Kiwi. My cw skills are 
 not real good, and I am trying to decode this
 to make sure it is you. So 
 far I don't
 have a positive ID. I put an mp3 file of the signal on 
 dropbox.

 At 10:27 pm I no longer am
 copying the signal.
