From the Virgin Islands they are 59+ on my NW Beverage and weak on my North and West Beverage. I know that is probably not much help but I send the information along for what its worth. Like Merv said the strongest is 3501.6. I am listening to a NA pile up on 3525.5 calling 5J0R and the carrier is equal or better than most of the callers. I would thus assume that these signals are produced by substantial power and good antennas and not some flea powered sea buoy floating around in the Gulf.

Can hear them here in KH6 land,   at least the 3500.9 and 3501.6.
the 3503.1 is there also but weak,  strongest is 3501.6
antenna to broad to pin point any true direction, but its coming
from the "east" to north east for sure.

The signals on 3501.6 and 3503.1 are both SE of me (north Alabama) but I can't locate the direction any closer than that with only a four direction receiving antenna. They are very strong, S9+5 to S9+10, same on either a low dipole or a vertical. They were also that strong even a few hours before sunset. I listened for a while on AM but never heard any modulation.
