Disappearance of Short Wave Time Signals at 5, 10, 15, 20kHz


Thirty years ago, that ticking atomic clock could be picked
up on any shortwave receiver, whether one paid $40 or
$400 for it, or even on the boom-boxes of that day, of
which the majority featured at least SW1 & SW2. Starting
in the 1990s, it became increasingly more difficult to tune
them in, even with a dedicated shortwave radio. They'd
come in on only certain of those frequencies, or only at
certain times of day.

Now, they are all but inaudible except for once in a while,
every other day, on one frequency or another. All I hear at
those frequencies is loud static or noise.

What's going on??


What's going on is, you're a trolling dumb ****.

This was all explained to you when you trolled a different group with
this same nonsense.

You showed that you don't even know what station you're trying to
listen to, let alone what frequency it's on. You've confirmed that
again, here. The simplest explanation is that you just don't know how
to find the station on your radio. Too stupid! This was explained to
you on the other newsgroup, but it probably could not penetrate your
granite skullbone.

You cited the Wikipedia article, too. But that's about a different
station, which broadcasts on 60 Hz. This was explained to you, too.
And the article does not say that the station reduced it's power about
a decade ago. You'd know that if you could apply a bit of reading
comprehension, but that's obviously not possible. And, of course, this
was spelled out in the other group. None of this ever gets through to
you, does it?

As for the ridiculous claim that most boomboxes and radios from thirty
years ago received SW, well, it's no surprise that you're an utter
dumb**** on that subject too. So now what? Find yet another newsgroup,
for you to pinch off more turds of trolldom?


It is for clocks' synchronization. It is 60 KHz.
