Just curious about whether anyone ever hears this time signal. I've
listened for it without success. It appears to be active.

"Transmisión de señales horarias en HF, durante dos periodos de 25
minutos diarios, en 15006 y 4998 KHz. Respectivamente, entre 10:00 y
11:00 horas UTC."

My (no doubt weak) translation, courtesy of babelfish: Transmission
of hour signals in HF, during two periods of 25 minutes daily, in
15006 and 4998 KHz. Respectively, between 10:00 and 11:00 hours UTC.


From your posting IP I suspect that you are in NYC. Does anyone
have any reason to believe that these signals separated from WWV
by only 4 and 2 kHz respectively could ever be resolved in NYC?

Perhaps European readers have copied those signals; also under
remarkable propagation conditions it is conceivable that they could
mix with WWV in the States, much like WWVH is often mixed with
WWV here in the Northern Midwest (the female voice from WWVH
always speaks during silence of the male voice from WWV).
