Hi Peter

The "Standard Frequency and Time Signal Stations on Longwave and Shortwave"
document is very useful. Thanks.

Call sign: YVTO
Location: Caracas, 10° 30' N, 66° 56' W

I believe http://www.dhn.mil.ve/  is the appropriate site, but it seems to
be all in Portuguese :-(

Call sign: BPM
Location: Pucheng County, 70 km NE Lintong, China. Approx. 35° 00' N, 
109° 30' E

http://kyc.ntsc.ac.cn/ and http://www.time.ac.cn/ are apparently 
relevant, although, not surprisingly, they seem to be in Chinese :-(

I found these links from a useful document "Standard Frequency and 
Time Signal Stations on Longwave and Shortwave" from 
http://www.longwave.de/TSS.pdf
