Tim I plan to listen for the Swedish station SAQ on Sunday at 17.2KHz. So testing the equipment. What I am seeing is that LED lighting in general is covering the low spectrum with lots of noise. In fact in our town they just replaced every street light with a bright harsh white LED Fixture. So as a theory I wonder if what we expect at night, isn't true anymore since the street lights are on all night. I have not taken a listen yet to wwvb. But fear it will be some bad news.
