But why not just set up a receiver and listen to that? I can't remember a time when WWV wasn't audible on at least one of its frequencies. Shortwave receivers that will tune 2.5MHz, 5MHz, 10MHz, 15MHz, and 20MHz are not expensive, especially if you look for something on eBay. That will also allow you to tune in CHU for a change. (One can often hear WWV or CHU in my house.) -- Brian Lloyd, WB6RQN/J79BPL 706 Flightline Drive Spring Branch, TX 78070 br...@lloyd.com +1.916.877.5067 _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
