I'm in Richmond, Virginia and I'm trying to noticeably improve my

Thanks for your signal report and the antenna suggestion. I'll keep
it in mind.

On the other hand, my tuned (and currently horizontal) loop is
suddenly picking up WWV/10MHz remarkably reliably, and I didn't even
have to "sacrifice a goat at midnight"! grin

Has your reception improved lately as well (last few days)?

Don't know about WWV in particular, but this past weekend on the ham
bands there was an obvious uptick in propogation conditions. The MUF
was up enough that I heard several pileups on 15 meters and 40 and 30
Meters were more hopping than usual in mid-day/early evening.

Well, I hope it continued for everyone else, but for me the WWV
signal has faded back into obscurity. I can occasionally hear
small, dim fragments of its former glory, and that for only 10-20
seconds at a time.

I guess I really should have sacrificed that goat. grin?
