This beacon is a retired kit I built a few years ago by Hans Summers G0UPL. It is setup to run off 12 volts and tapped directly to a battery array on solar installation in the Arizona desert. The antenna is a DX80 off center fed dipole with its vertex at 15 feet. The screen shot is the signal at my home QTH (DM03) approximately 300 miles from the beacon. So far it seems to appear about 15 minutes after sunrise and disappear about 45 after sunset.
