Time Signal
 

I just read about a time signal station at the Real Instituto y
Observatorio de la Armada in San Fernando, Cadiz, Spain. This station
is supposed to be active, I believe, and I wonder if anyone's had any
luck receiving it. It broadcasts on 15006 kHz, though I'm not sure what
its broadcast schedule is.

By the way, a few moments ago Armed Forces Radio had a nice signal on
10320 usb out of Pearl Harbor.

Out here in California, 10.320 is a daily "blowtorch"...

My Spanish is pretty weak, but according to the observatory's website,
they transmit a time signal during two 25 minute periods each day
between 10:00 and 11:00 utc on 15006 khz and 4998 khz.

Here's the actual Spanish, in case I'm interpreting it incorrectly:

Transmisi=F3n de se=F1ales horarias en HF, durante dos periodos de 25
minutos diarios, en 15006 y 4998 KHz. Respectivamente, entre 10:00 y
11:00 horas UTC.

Might be worth a listen.
