What Time is it?
#14
Might this be it?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BPM_(time_service)

BPM is the call sign of the official short-wave time signal service of the People's Republic of China, operated by the Chinese Academy of Sciences, broadcasting from CAS's National Time Service Center in Pucheng County, Shaanxi at 34°56′55.96″N 109°32′34.93″E
, roughly 70 km northeast of Lintong,[1] along with NTSC's long-wave time signal BPL on 100 kHz.
BPM is broadcast at 2.5, 5.0, 10.0, and 15.0 MHz, the same frequencies as WWV and WWVH, following the schedule listed below:[2]

BPM is idiosyncratic in that it transmits UT1 time between minutes 25 through to 29 and 55 through to 59, which creates an odd click-beep effect when heard below a stronger time signal station such as WWV especially when UT1 seconds are halfway between UTC seconds, close to a leap-second event
I used to be a normal person, then I discovered how to locate myself on this planet using a star.
