FYI... I was hearing WWV/25 several weeks ago peaking S8 here in Central Texas... WWV/20 was inaudible! ;-) Path 155 degrees 795 miles... Below from the NIST.gov Web Page: As of 2042 UTC 7 July 2017 the 25 MHz broadcast is now on a turnstile antenna with circular polarization and will remain in this configuration until after the solar eclipse on 21 Aug 2017. Signal reports are requested. 73 Don W4WJ In a message dated 7/14/2017 12:47:12 PM Central Standard Time, [email protected] writes:
