I can really recommend a program called Faros, by VE3NEA. It monitors the beacons, and can control the radio through the RS-232 interface, to build up a picture of what beacons are audible throughout the day.
I stopped using it as it was not convenient to tie up a radio and the computer sound card 24/7, but it would be fascinating to have a propagation record built up over a period of time. I was amazed how often distant beacons could be heard even on bands that were apparently dead.
