I am In Wilmington, NC and will tell you that it is YVTO Caracas. I
hear it about 3 s-units below WWV. BTW, the reason the tones are out
of sync with each other is the propagation path (the time it takes for
the signal to reach your reciever. I have never heard the chineese
service from the east coast. Only VNG at 16000khz from Australia which
is now silent key.

At my location on the east coast of the US, I get semi-reliable

(See my WWV usability charts at

for propogation/reception conditions.).

But the 5 MHz signal often "sounds" different than the 10, 15, and 20 MHz
broadcasts. There's an additional beep that seems to come once
a second, and this is sometimes audible when WWV isn't heard at
all. Is it possible I'm picking up YVTO (also a time station at
5 MHz) from Venezuela? I'm not sure I've ever heard a Spanish-language
voice announcment, but presumably the modulation on the voice is less
than the once-a-second beep. The beep seems slightly out of phase
compared to WWV.

Are there any other 5MHz once-a-second-beep stations that might be
audible from the East Coast of the US? Isn't there a Chinese time broadcast
on 5 MHz? But I doubt that I'd be hearing it here on the East Coast. What's
the format of the Chinese broadcast?
