I have put up a new video on my YouTube channel, this one is of the Chinese oddity station MC03, the Morse code sister station to VC01. This outlet of MC03 appears to have a very chirpy transmitter, and I have heard it (MC03) broken like this on several frequencies for more than 6 months.

This station appears to carry traffic very similar to VC01, and is also assumed to be related to air defense or air tracking. In the video I annotate a couple minutes worth of the changing data, including time tags.

I find the time tags interesting. There is one official time zone in China, Beijing Time (UTC +8). However the time tags appear to be UTC +7, which would be Kansu-Szechuan time. I have seen this pretty regularly with MC03, although I have also seen other time zones in use. I assume I hear different time zones depending on where the node I am then hearing is located. But why don't they all use BJT?


T!
