Usually the 3 headed monster on 3145/3185/3215 American Christian

tonight and WWV is crystal clear.

Go figure... The fun of shortwave, what do they say, the only thing
that is consistent in radio is change.

DITTO - Example on 6160 kHz CKZU [CBU] from
Vancouver, BC less than 1000 Miles away and
the All-Night Chinese Blaster; both on the same
frequency were each missing and the 41m Band's
background noise floor was S0~S1 for several 10
kHzs on both sides.

As you point out WWV & WWVH on 5000 kHz
was a Solid S9+30dB with Zero Fade and Zero
Atmospherics "Excellent". ~ RHF
