Skegness Log: 27-11-13 (MW)

1470 0300 CAN CJVB Vancouver BC. CJVB's time signal penetrating the noise. V weak.  7453 km

This one was hardly above the noise. Had it not been for that familiar time signal I would never have known it was CJVB.

There are three pips of a certain frequency (slightly above 1 kHz). I compared these with a recording of my last reception of CJVB and they were clearly the same. What makes these even more distinctive is the fact that there is a slightly larger gap between pip numbers one and two. But perhaps more noticeably pip number two is longer then the others. Such is the peculiarity of CJVB's time signal! Occasionally I hear CJVB when the signal is strong enough to give an audible Fairchild Radio identification.

Good DX!
