broadcast in the 49m band which might help reception. your feedback
would be useful.


I tried to find a VOR transmission on the evening when I first read your
thread on the subject. I found 9840, but the signal was too crummy to ID,
so I never posted a followup. Just tonight, I got a listenable signal
at 8:11 PM Seattle time (04:11 UTC, Feb. 8) but it faded out in about
15 minutes.

Strange, a couple of months ago, 15595 kHz (as I remember) was
booming in.

Did they cut back transmissions or is it just propagation?
