[time-nuts] !0 MHz standard frequency intruder

[EB4APL]

Hello,

I'm receiving, maybe from less than a  month, a new station on 10 MHz 
which claims it is an "experimental time signals station".
The weird thing is that they transmit music between the minute time 
marks, heavily interfering with the other standard stations which share 
this frequency.  Currently I receive there WWV, the Italian official 
standard frequency and time station IBF and its Brazilian counterpart 
PPR (BTW PPR broadcasts local time instead of UTC). They transmit 
continuously 24 hours a day.
Every 15 minutes a female voice says that this is an experimental time 
station, gives a web page and its locator.  While I agree that anybody 
could run an standard frequency and time station, given official license 
from their local authorities (and after international coordination, I 
suppose), I think this is a truly "pirate" station because among their 
weird "programming" , I also notice:

- Their carrier is currently - 4 Hz off.
- The second ticks are offset enough to be perceived by ear with respect 
to known standards.

The transmission is in USB with full carrier (I don't have the 
designation on hand).  The format is:
- The whole sequence begins at multiples of 15 minutes.
- At second 52 they transmit something like a 2 second burst in FSK (It 
can be a fake signal without any useful information).
- At second 54 begins 1 sec ticks.
- Tick at second 59 is omitted, then only the tick for sec 0 is transmitted.
- After the 0 sec tick a male voice announces the hour and minute. The 
voice has an intonation like a news or sports speaker.
- A female voice makes an announcement about being an experimental time 
station, gives a web page and its locator.
. The ticks are discontinued and replace by music.
- The first music in a 15 minute cycle is from Peer Gynt, it is replaced 
with other music the next minutes.
- The next minutes lack the female voice announcement until next cycle 
begins.

All speaking is done in Italian language.
If I copied the locator correctly, the transmitter location is near 
Pisa, Italy.

Did anybody noticed this transmission?  I receive it in Madrid, Spain.
