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.

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.

FWIW.....We're at an 11 yr low for solar activity. Thus no big suprise that 25MHz is not covering the US very well, but a rare opening is always possible. -Brian > On Jul 16, 2017, at 7:32 PM, paul swed <paulswedb@gmail.com> wrote: > > Not hearing wwv on 25 MHz but 15 is fine.

Prop shifted... I tuned to it before I left for Home Depot at 1600 hrs CST, and it was strong.... It was GONE by 1830 hrs. ______________________ Clay Autery, KY5G MONTAC Enterprises (318) 518-1389 On 7/16/2017 6:32 PM, paul swed wrote: > Not hearing wwv on 25 MHz but 15 is fine.

Solar wind conditions is such that right now things is flakey.

Hi Not in the least bit uncommon propagation at those frequencies and this time of year. Bob > On Jul 16, 2017, at 8:44 PM, Clay Autery <cautery@montac.com> wrote: > > Prop shifted...
