Default Greenland-Interval Signal

This item of interest in the latest DXLD. Greenland used to be on
shortwave on 3999 kHz, but have not operated on shortwave for a good
number of years.

I highly recommend the interval signal site noted at the bottom of the
post.

"Sunnia Kalippoq" or "The whaleboat Sonja drags whale" is the title of
the interval signal used by Radio Greenland, according to WRTH. This
elusive melody, now that this remote station is only now available on
low-powered mediumwave and FM, can be heard in a good-quality audio
clip just uploaded to the Interval Signals Online website. In full,
what you'll hear is: a brief announcement in Danish - news jingle -
time check, ID and sign-off announcement in Greenlandic - national
anthem. All this on Interval Signals Online at
