The Daily DX http://www.dailydx.com/ reports that new 60-meter beacons are
on the air from England and Scotland. GB3WES in Cumbria, England, and GB3ORK
in Scotland's Orkney Islands join GB3RAL in Oxfordshire, which has been on
the air since mid-2003. All transmit on 5290 kHz. Each beacon has a stepped
transmit power sequence and a 30-second sounder sequence of 0.5 ms pulses at
40 Hz. All three beacons transmit at a nominal power of 10 W.

There's more information, including how to file reception reports, on the
RSGB Beacon Reporting website
