I checked this frequency on a whim; I've done so before and gotten a whole lot of zilch, so I figured this time would be no different. Boy was I wrong! It took a few minutes and a formatting change to make me realize that no, I was not just hearing distorted time pips from the adjacent and strong WWV. The RWM IDs at 0139 clinched it. Wow, wow, and wow! I never thought I'd hear this one over here, ever. Then again, I've only heard BPM once...
Here's my log. I am oh so definitely QSLing this catch!
9996, RWM, 0215-0246. High-pitched time pips at tune-in, lasting uninterrupted for several minutes. Shifted to a stream of rapid pips at 0220, lasting until 0230 when a continuous tone replaced it. What sounded like short data bursts at 0238, then clear Morse RWM IDs at 0239, all minute long. Back into time pips at 0240, then into rapid pips again. Signal good, audible alongside WWV on 10000. SINPO 44344.
Audible again tonight, though not as strong. Anybody else catch it? If not, try for it once and see what you get.
