At least I know SOMETHING in the SW environment
changed - the noise floor, and for whatever reason,
probably budgetary, they reuduced transmission power
on some of those stations.


Don't know anything about a power change at WWV in the last couple of
decades. I have a 94 WRTH handy and it shows power at 10kW on 5,
10, and 15 MHz or 2.5kW on 2.5 and 20 MHz, same as now.

I've been listenening in the same area for over 40 years, even have the
same radios, and reception is sometimes uncertain but nothing I think
can't be explained by the usual propagation changes and the increased
amount of radio noise.
