I'm currently picking up signal from a beacon using RTL-SDR and decoding the Morse code on a computer using gMFSK program. The beacon is sending message which decodes as "T DE YU1VHF LOC KN04OO".
I still haven't started learning how to decode the Morse code by "hand".

From what I understand, DE is from "this is", YU1VHF is the beacon's callsign and LOC KN04OO looks like Maidenhead system location. The only part which I don't get at the moment is "T".

Any ideas what that would be?

As mentioned in my comment, it appears that the software I'm using, gMFSK, is decoding the long tone as a letter "T", because there is a short pause between the tone beacon transmits and the message itself.
