Checking 3810 at 1000 this morning I hear HD2IOA (Ecuador) time signal putting
in a fairly good signal with time pips every ten seconds.

They changed their format a while back.

I have yet to QSL (verie, for those in Glendale) this one.


Nice! have not heard this one in awhile.

So, how does one write a reception report for a time station?


ID info, etc.

I can
see where it would be easy for a WWV or WWVH, where lots of additional
changeable information is given on an hourly basis; but what about a
simple "time pip" station?


Not certain about HD2IOA. At one time they gave a pretty good ID. But now, I'm not
certain. I'll have to listen a bit more to the 'new' format.

Had pretty good luck with the time signal stations, and now have 27 I believe QSL'd
(veried, for those in Glendale).

Along a similar vein, Bangkok Metereological Radio has been putting in
a decent signal every few days on its 8 MHz frequency.


Yeah, at times they come in pretty well. I QSL'd (veried, for those in Glendale)
that one a few years back.
