Hello Karel,
A new experimental Italian time station is on 10000kHz in USB. There are time announcements every minute by a male voice in Italian and at H+00, H+15, H+30, H+45 there is a longer announcement by a female voice in Italian. ID: "Italy Cable". Web: www.italycable.it (sounds like this but not found...)
yes, the station was heard yesterday by Patrick Robic, in Austria. The mentioned web page is www.italcable.it ; Italcable was the old Italian point-to-point organization for international cable and radio telephone traffic. The site has only an old logo and no information at all.
The ID says "Italcable, stazione radio Italcable, trasmissione sperimentale del segnale orario, frequenza dieci megahertz. Il segnale viene inviato in modalità SRC. Per maggiori informazioni www.italcable.it . Locator JN53DV". ("Italcable radio station, experimental transmission of the time signal, frequency 10 MHz. The signal is sent in SRC mode. For further information www.italcable.it . Locator JN53DV"). The JN53dv locator corresponds to region Tuscany, somewhere near Viareggio, not far from the Tyrrhenian coast. The time announcements in Italian language are correct and correspond to Central European Summer Time (UTC+2).
It is unclear at present if the station is a legitimate experimental operation or a pirate and if the location is correct or a fake.
