Title: CHU - QUIET! no time pips heard 0300z 11 July 2017
Post by: Dag on June 11, 2017, 0326 UTC

I've been listening to CHU on 3330, 7850, and 14670 KHz for the past 30 minutes: There are no time pips and no announcements, but the signal is strong.

I've never heard CHU as a quiet carrier before.

There's no mention of any testing or absence of time pips on the National Research Council Canada (CHU) web site.

Also observed here. All three carriers are present, but no broadcast.

10 hours since my post, CHUs frequencies show only a carrier: no time pips or other information.
