Default Antenna for receiving WWV/10MHz: am I asking too much?

Since he said previously that he could hardly hear the tones/voice, isn't it
probable that the receiver is just seeing mostly noise?

As mentioned by someone else, propagation is currently "very ordinary" (aka
poor) at present, so maybe he's just out of range.

The other issue is whether your clock is actually able to synch with
the WWV signal... You may have a defect in the clock... It would seem
that 4 or 5 bars should have done the trick...


Presumably the LED meter indicates recieved power, not signal to noise
ratio.

That's good!

Polarization was one of my thoughts.

Also, how is the synch tone derived by the receiver? Maybe that part of
the radio needs tweaking? One would think that seven segments out of ten
should be sufficient. I'm assuming there are ten segments total.
