Mystery time station on 3.757.6 mHz ?
 

Between 23:00 and 02:00 UTC I am hearing
what sounds like a modulated CW (AM carrier
wave with a 1000 hz tone) Time and Frequency
station in the top half of the 80 Meter band.

Frequency is 3.776.6 mHz (LSB) best heard
and is about an s-5 in the Md/Va area. Seems
to fade out after 02:30 UTC

CW and Frequency shift slightly when the 'pip' is
transmitted, leading me to believe it is comming out
of Cuba. No ID seems to be transmitted at the top
of the hour.

Anyone have any ideas of where or who this station is?

Is it this station on 3756? Can hear it now (0020UTC).

YES! It sounds very much like that one!

Wow, propagation must be VERY long with
the current solar activity. I am hearing it now
near Rockville Md at 9:30 PM EST using LSB
between 3.757.3 and 3.758.6 (a rather wide
and slightly dirty signal)

Good pick "R.F. Collins" - try tuning it in now.
and U may hear it iffen ur on the East Coast.

Yes. I can hear it here in MIchigan. It does sound like there is some
carrier if you are on 3757. Probably a WWII vintage transmitter.
