Oh - and while it's not exactly an interval signal, the *other*
greatest folk song ever written, courtesy of BBC World Service:

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...

http://www.intervalsignals.net/files..._vis_c1940.m3u

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:

http://www.intervalsignals.net/files...nal_170701.m3u

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.

Da, comrade. Radiostantsiya Rodina would be Radiostation Homeland or
Radiostation Motherland, depending on how patriotic you're feeling. :)

I'd love to hear that one, if anyone can point a way to it.

www.intervalsignals.net circa 1985 Used to hear it quite often
in those days. Pure brainwashing propaganda. Glad it is gone forever.
Andropov and Chernenko times... Brezhnev was a real liberal if
compared to those two fellows!

I've always thought the theme music from Zurich Insurance's commercial
"Change Happens" would be the perfect IS. Played by Spacetrain, it is
paradoxically the most calming and uplifting composition I've ever
heard - almost mysteriously so.
