Tim, going through some of my Masset Perseus wave files, on Dec 30th, UTC
06:59, I'm measuring 2 carriers on the waterfall zoom: 1709.784 and
1709.982, the latter being very similar to the S American station. Who
knows! No audio on the 1 file I have checked....73, Walt

Most stations use 1 kHz as the pips tone. Portugal's are somewhat lower.

I beg to differ. Sim's pips are 2940 Hz.

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

off at the time. Antena 1 Portugal should have 4 
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.
