a question about the 'pip' stations....
« on: March 09, 2014, 1555 UTC »
I was wondering if anyone has figured out any kind of operating sked for the 'pip' stations, meaning when they are most likely to be transmitting...  or do they operate in a random fashion etc...

Just and idea.... I am finding these interesting for some weird reason...

tnx folks

If I'm not mistaken the pip was a now defunct noise station (sorta like a numbers station)

No, the pip is on daily with a daytime & nighttime frequency. 5448 is the day frequency & 3756 is a night frequency. Supposedly they use different transmitters & power levels 3756 - 1kW and 5448 - 15kW. the pip is also called network number 800 (according to people who claim to be involved with the station).

Thanks for the info folks :-)

I am very interested in this one...  can't figure what it's all about and it might end up being one of those things not known until way after the fact...
