HF Time Broadcasts and Time Signal Stations List
A detailed compilation of HF time and frequency standard stations worldwide, including operational data.
Description
The resource details HF time broadcast stations, categorizing them into "Standard Frequency & Time Signal Broadcast" and "Time Signal Broadcast" types. Standard Frequency & Time Signal Broadcasts, like those on 2.5 MHz and 5 MHz, originate from official time observatories and offer continuous standard frequencies, time signals, and often voice announcements, potentially including meteorological data. These stations operate in the SW band.
Time Signal Broadcasts also provide continuous time signals, typically with voice announcements, but without the strict observatory origin requirement. The list includes specific frequencies such as 3.33 MHz, 4.996 MHz, 7.85 MHz, 9.996 MHz, 14.67 MHz, 14.996 MHz, 15.006 MHz, and 20 MHz, alongside the primary standard frequencies.
Each entry specifies the station's ID time, call sign, geographic coordinates, and operational notes, including languages like English, Chinese, Portuguese, Korean, and Spanish. Some entries also indicate decommissioning dates, such as the station on 3.33 MHz scheduled for 2026-06-22.
