[Spooks] Letter beacon in Florida?

[Utility World (Hugh Stegman)]

I'd be inclined to agree with Kurt.  I don't think a simple whip like you
see on VHF would be very efficient on 4 MHz with these low-powered
transmitters.  These beacons actually get out pretty well, and I'd suspect
the antenna is somewhat larger than that.

Oh, and I am almost certain that MX, as assigned by Enigma 2K, only refers
to single-letter CW cluster and solitary beacons and markers coming from
Russia and Eastern Europe.
