Thanks for those links.

To me, the most magical interval signal of all time was that of
Russia's Radiostantsiya Rodina (which, I believe, means "Radio
Homeland"). The IS spoke to me of infinite longing, of distant seas,
of lost loves contemplated at sunset. It was beautiful, though
probably only a dozen notes or so.

The BBC's European Service IS of a morse code "V" on tympani (which
also sounded like the opening notes of Beethoven's Fifth) was also
haunting. It wasn't too many years ago they were still using it on
3975 kHz.

With every good wish,

Kevin, WB4AIO.

Kevin, for the BBC, I trust you mean this "V" IS on the timpani...

This one goes back to WWII, apparently, when England used whatever
means it had to portray a mood of defiance and strength against German
aggression. I have never heard it, even when I was a kid in the
1970's. I have, however, heard this variation:

as recently as a few years ago. I don't know if it is still used, but
either of these is haunting and full of historic meaning.
