Any SW Receiver with SSB detection --- will receive CW (morse code) by
setting the mode to USB or LSB

The Beacons transmit in fast Morse code -- 22 words per minute

So an aid to figuring out where they are coming from is Beacon See -- URL:

But ur computer clock must be accurate to within a second

Here are some handy programs to set your computer clock automatically when
you turn on your computer

The NCDXF/IARU Beacon System is a great way to determine propagation to
various parts of the world --- see URL:
http://www.ncdxf.org/beacons.html

A transmission consists of the callsign of the beacon sent at 22 words per
minute followed by four one-second dashes. The callsign and the first dash
are sent at 100 watts. The remaining dashes are sent at 10 watts, 1 watt and
100 milliwatts.

Beacon See will decipher all of this if you don't copy morse. Just be sure
your computer clock is accurate.
