I live about 70 miles south of the transmitter and almost
never hear WWV. WWVH comes in louder and clearer.
It's like that here in SC with the WHRI transmitters... not real far
away but a hard catch, especially at night.
I can't get KVOH, about 20 miles away. Could never hear Delano, either.
Can't say I'm familiar with the reception of KVOH,
maybe when I'm in the mood for some mind rot I'll try to tune them in,
but the VOA in Delano never came in as good as Bethany.
Maybe those Sterbas were oriented away from SoCal
so as to emphasize the polar path?
KVOH is even aimed in my direction...
