In the age of remote SDRs etc., perhaps this is
irrelevant, but has anyone made a list of what
pips are used by different
Europeans? Sometimes, pips are all that make it
through, and like knowing the frequency offset,
can hint at what tools (parallel webstream etc.)
might be useful when the signal is a little better next time.
best wishes,
Nick

Re the 630 unknown item, the eleven pips

long and 1 short. BBC would be 5 short, 1 long.
You might want to let Roy know that the number ,
length and pitch of the pips can help
distinguish between multiple sets of pips. Most
often however it ends up being multiple
transmitters from Spain on one frequency - not the case on 630.
It is also possible, depending on antenna
direction that pips could be heard from
Argentina, Brazil, Colombia and Venezuela.
