You can't rely on WWVA when it rains. They automatically cut into anything
with
weather bureau rain warnings and you miss the punch lines. Clear Channel at
work.
I grew up in Wheeling in the 60s and 70s. In those days, you could
pretty much clip a pair of headphones to your bedsprings and listen to
WWVA! Kathryn Kuhlman on Sunday nights!
I could regularly get them in the 80s when I moved here (Florida), but I
haven't heard them here in years. Now I read that Clear Channel wants
to sell them off and/or lower the power.
