At my location on the east coast of the US, I get semi-reliable
reception of WWV on 5 MHz through most of the night. (See my WWV usability charts at http://www.trailing-edge.com/~shoppa/wwv/ for propogation/reception conditions.). But the 5 MHz signal often "sounds" different than the 10, 15, and 20 MHz broadcasts. There's an additional beep that seems to come once a second, and this is sometimes audible when WWV isn't heard at all. Is it possible I'm picking up YVTO (also a time station at 5 MHz) from Venezuela? I'm not sure I've ever heard a Spanish-language voice announcment, but presumably the modulation on the voice is less than the once-a-second beep. The beep seems slightly out of phase compared to WWV. Are there any other 5MHz once-a-second-beep stations that might be audible from the East Coast of the US? Isn't there a Chinese time broadcast on 5 MHz? But I doubt that I'd be hearing it here on the East Coast. What's the format of the Chinese broadcast? Tim. |
