Re: [IRCA] Mystery time signal on 790 kHz

["John Sgrulletta" <johnswl1@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I hear 790 from Cuba quite often and with a big signal at times. The time 
ticks seem to be much louder than the audio signal. The male or female 
announcer will talk over the ticks and then pause as the Morse Code is 
broadcast. This evening I heard them with a female announcer that was very 
low. The "R R" Morse was clearly heard. The band is really hopping tonight 
as I heard audio on 711 kHz with WOR on 710 and Radio Reloj on 570 under 
WMCA. Many other signals as Brett mentioned plus getting them on the lower 
side of the dial. Switzerland on 765 and Norway on 1314 both in (no IDs 
heard) and presumed Grenada was peaking S7-S8 15 minutes ago- the best level 
I have heard them in many years.
