At a listening spot in central Texas ther appears to be a almost imprceptable continuous time marker broadcast at about 663 KHZ. Distinctive clicks, spaced one second apart, can be heard through the background US ideband scatter from multiple US 660 KHZ stations, and from South American stations that are spaced less than 10 KHZ apart. Unfortunately there is a strong local station at 970, which does not allow me to pinpoint the exact time signal frequency. The signal is best heard about 10:00 PM Central time on a radio with narrow bandwidth. The voice ID is a foriegn language, and is unintelligible. Does anyone know what this time signal broadcast is, and where it originates. The signal can be heard on several radios, which rules out a receiver proble

Sorry - my computer is hiccuping. Thanks for your help

You just actually might have been picking up some real DX, as that 963Khz is a valid foreign frequency.
Plus,you possibly might have been picking up a station waaaay out in the Siberian countryside, if it was within this time frame:
Standard Time And Frequency Stations:
Interval Signals .... 279 , 963, 1278, 4795 khz
670000, Ulan-Ude, ul.Erbanova,7 , Buryat Radio ...
Buryat GTRK - Buryat Radio , Ulan-Ude
279 , 963, 1278, 4795 khz
670000, Ulan-Ude, ul.Erbanova,7 , Buryat Radio
670013, Ulan-Ude, ul.Prirechnaya,1 , Radio and TV Transmitting Center.
Chief editor of Radio: (3012) 21-69-49
Daily, 2058-2100
Sun.-Fri., 2110-2300
Sun.-Thur., 2210-2300 ( sometimes till 2310)
Sat.,2210-0000 ; Sun.,2210-0100
Tue.,Fri., 0310-0400
Mon.-Sat.,1010-1100 (sometimes till 1110).
If you have a digital receiver you might check out that you are right ON 4795
frequency, and at the proper time of propagation for that frequency band, see
if that is also the same signal format, don’t know if you would also have the
same luck with that 1278 signal, as some locals might be laying on top of it.
