Solar wind conditions is such that right now things is flakey. Cheers, Magnus (at 1400 m in Lichtenstein on a mini DX expedition - we had to give up for the night) On 07/17/2017 02:44 AM, Clay Autery wrote: Prop shifted... I tuned to it before I left for Home Depot at 1600 hrs CST, and it wa

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

Not hearing wwv on 25 MHz but 15 is fine. Using a beam and r1051 receiver. Maybe its not on for the weekend. Its a 2 KW signal so should be able to hear something. Regards Paul WB8TSL On Fri, Jul 14, 2017 at 9:29 PM, paul swed wrote: > Sorry its a bit lower in the site that they resumed broadcas

Sorry its a bit lower in the site that they resumed broadcasting. I thought it had been off for many years. Amazing that they kept the transmitter in shape for operation. Regards Paul WB8TSL On Fri, Jul 14, 2017 at 9:27 PM, paul swed wrote: > I went to the wwv site and do not see 25 MHz mentione

As reported by ARRL, a few days ago, on July 7th the 25 MHz antenna for WWV was changed to circular polarization. http://www.arrl.org/news/wwv-25-mhz-signal-swapped-to-circular-polarization Matt Deutch, N0RGT the Lead electrical engineer at WWV said it’s hoped that the latest antenna change to c
