Okay, this one has still got me scratching my head. LOL WHile tuning around on the Perseus tuner in Iceland, I ran across a broadcaster on 5001khz that was pretty loud. It sounded like Russian and heard a great interval signal with church bells and everything at 2200z. Unfortunately, I didn't have my screen grab set up right and didn't get the audio at that time. However, here's what they sounded like at 2230z followed by some English fisherman on 5000khz ~2240z:

In between 2200 and 2230z I searched around on other tuners in Ireland, Great Britain, Sweden, Finland, and the Ukraine trying to get the best signal and as I 'traveled' eastward, the signal got worse. I was hearing it best in Iceland of all places, maybe S7 to 8. My initial web search showed only one station ever logged on 5001khz and that was in Haifa, Israel. Well, this can't be them because I could barely hear them in the Ukraine and not at all in Greece (just across the water from Israel).
Then I found this: http://www.iarums-r1.org/iarums/actions.pdf
Which reads:
“Hello from Stuttgart,
we have already had the same problem with the frequency 7009 kHz in summer this year with a
Russian inter-modulation product from a tx-er located Krasnodar-Armavir Tbilisskya,
Caucasus Mountain.

The formula this time is: 6090 kHz + 1089 kHz = 7179 kHz
6090 kHz – 1089 kHz = 5001 kHz
On 5001 kHz you should also hear the program of 6090 kHz, and, in addition, on 5940, 6120,
and 7340 kHz.

Well, if it's the Russian Orthodox Divine Service then that explains the church bells I was hearing at 2200z!
I'll check for them again tomorrow and see if I can get a better ident. Don't go hogging up the Iceland server at that time though! Why would I hear them best there over any other receiver in Europe I don't know.
