There are 4 Russian beacons listed here:

Just received a fascinating recording from famed DX'er Hannu Tikkanen,
who records from the top of the world in Lapland using a Perseus SDR
and a 3,000 foot beverage. He records in this nearly noise-free cabin
location for a week, once per year. Then spends the rest of the year
combing through those looking for rare catches.
Today he sent me a recording of KKGR 680 in Helena, MT with three
crystal clear ID's. In the background you could also easily hear KBRW
in Barrow, AK. But clearest of all is a Morse Code identification at
about five words per minute. It sends out B-P-B-P in a four letter group.
Hannu had no real ideal who the station might be. He suspected an
Asian station due to the time of day for the recording. At first I
thought it was possibly a beacon of some sort, perhaps related to
British Petroleum, but it's clearly a four letter group, not a two
letter group repeating. Is 680 KHz allocated for radio location or
beacon service anywhere in the world?
Any help in solving the mystery would be appreciated.
