Hello everybody !
the ham band beacons dont launch the necessary ERP. The signal from
WWV/WWVH equals that of a well equiped extra class station with power
and a yagi antenna, at least from 10mc and up.
In case of monitoring WWV/WWVH You dont need to wait until the beacons
cycle around and the one u want comes up. maybe even in a QSB period. In
short words, the availability of WWV/WWVH is far superior to all the FT8
/ PSK and whatever stuff. Let alone that u always need the computer,
plus internet. Additionally all the other stuff depends on availability,
has the problem of usage of very different antenna systems and power at
different locations, in short words again, not very useful for reliable
comparison.
May it be as it is, the NIST stations are the real Mc Coy
