Listening for 10m Beacons

I've started scanning the lower part of 10 meters daily (well, most days) to listen for 10m Beacons.   The stations received have been sparse, but every now and then a surprise pops up:

Thanks to my neighbor, KB1QZY just up the road in Massachusetts.   Your signal is always there and serves as a  nice check that the antenna, radio, and headphones are working.

YV5B was received clearly every 3 minutes, down to the 100mw signal.   The NCDXF/IARU beacon web page lists this beacon in Venezuela as off the air.  I was pleased to receive this signal, and took care to listen for several cycles to ensure I got the call correct.
