Time signal on 790?
 

HF conditions at my location are poor tonight, as they have been for at
least the last week. So, I decided to spend some time with the Quantum
Loop. On 790 khz, buried beneath a bunch of commercial stations, I'm
hearing a time signal. On the minute there's some morse...an 'R' and
something else that I haven't quite made out yet.

Anyone know what this is?

The morse is "RR".

This is probably Radio Rebelde in Cuba. It's sort of a news/talk
station, with the time signal every minute. They also say "Radio
Rebelde" every minute.

I hear it every night here in Florida. It's on a couple other
frequencies also.

Try 860 also.

Sorry, it's Radio Reloj, not Radio Rebelde. See

for some details. It's a pretty good catch in NY.

I hear this and 860 every night.

For a second there I thought you might be in Florida, i.e. close to
Cuba. But now I get it. Because it is Morse code, you are decoding it
in the presence of many broadcast stations.
