TIL about "The Pips". WTIC-AM in Hartford, CT, on 1080 MHz, broadcasts a Morse letter V (dit-dit-dit-dah) every hour, such that the "dah" starts on the hour; the tones occur in two different frequencies that make it sound like the first four notes of Beethoven's Fifth.
- jsjohnst 3y ago> WTIC-AM in Hartford, CT, on 1080 MHz 1080 KHz you mean… 1.080 ghz is in the range used for aeronautical navigation.
- bitwize 3y agoYes, I meant kHz. D'oh.
- sidewndr46 3y agoInterestingly if you needed an antenna for 1080 MHz but ordered one for 1080 kHz it'd probably show up on the back of a tractor trailer rig with a crane to offload it.
