The beacons are on CW. They are spread around the world (http://www.ncdxf.org/beacon/beaconlocations.html) and unless circumstances are highly unusual you should hear at least one of them. You do need to listen long enough to get through the complete rotation (three minutes)

So I am wondering what mode one needs to listen with. I was assuming CW but I can not hear a signal on USB or LSB on that dial frequency. I know the band is not so great today but I can get other digital modes work and with no problem at all.
