Hi Don,
I'm awaiting the arrival of the G5RV from True Talk. It has a lot of
good reviews over at eham. I'm not sure where I'll put it, though. I
was thinking of the attic, but 50 ft is longer than my 25 ft attic.
I'm also considering one of the tak-tenna (taktenna.com) setups. This

Interesting, I haven't tried for WWV since I first got muine, but with
propergation getting better...
I used a Russian beacon originally, then a Racal 5MHz source which is very
accurate stable.
But not the YouTube calibration procedure.
Jay, could you post the link here, save me (us) searching
Hmmm, stupid me - I just searched Google and there it was.
And Yes, I can hear WWV on 10, 15 20 MHz!

The way I do it:
Let the K3 run for an hour or so to warm up.
Choose freq 14.996 MHz in mode CW.
Then you are tuned to RWM, that transmits time signals and has a strong
signal in EU that can be received by a standard K3.
It transmits a continuous carrier at h:00 and h:30 for nearly 8 minutes

HI jay,
Once you have an antenna set up you will be able to do the reference
oscillator calibration. It does not have to be done until you get on
the air and it only takes a few minutes.
When I finished my K3 I was afraid of the oscillator calibration so I
thought the factory defaults would

Jay, a 10-foot piece of wire should be enough antenna to get WWV at 5,
10 or 15
You might be able to use 10-15 feet of wire as a temporary receiving antenna.
WWV has a pretty strong signal (depending on your location and propagation
conditions, of course).

No but you DO need to calibrate it for it to work correctly. :)

Jay,
You did not say where you are in the world - does the g3 in your email
address put you in England?, or are you somewhere in the US. Tech
license and General class speak to a US ham, but then we are an
international community, so I hate to make assumptions about your location.

Thanks for the quick response, guys. I just went with the first
couple of suggestions, cut a 10 ft piece of wire and put it in the
antenna jack. I was able to locate WWV on 15 MHz and used the
Youtube calibration technique (CW / Rev CW) that I found in the
reflector archives. So, I've not only
