Not the best time of the day to evaluate VHF beacons but here is what 
your two beacons sound like from my QTH in EN70JT, 20 miles south of Ft. 
Wayne IN under flat conditions. I did not optimize yagi pointing between 
the two but nonetheless I found both peaking 15-20 dB above my NF during 
QSB up-swings. Enclosed below is a URL to a small WAV file. Not sure if 
this post will make it to the group. 73

Light travels faster than sound....
This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.
