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. 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 is 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.
