I have done some frequency measurement testing of WWV transmissions against
a not that great reference. Results are shown on

https://sites.google.com/site/perseusmods/home/performance

They are pretty awful even compared to a not that great reference. The
Ionosphere is not friendly.

Hello Friends,

I am picking up locally a couple of vintage analog Radio Shack SW time cube

radios, 70s vintage, 3 switchable SW frequencies.  Two types, the one

pictured and a Radio Shack model also that has WWV and Weather channel VHF

frequencies.

I am interested in an accurate bench test to compare the analog shortwave

radios time reporting

hopefully UT-1 against other available references.
