I can remember a time when a poster (this poster, in fact) asked this
question and got answer. Polite, civil answers. This is the third
go-round.


Now, sadlly, there is instead a bunch of nitwits who seem to think someone may
have somehow gotten hold of five cruise missiles and plans to launch one at each
antenna site for the five WWV transmitters (one for each frequency) using the
coordinates given in the newsgroup as targeting data. Pathetic!


Amazing, isn't it? There REALLY isn't any reason to keep trying to
getgetting the same easy answers from the newsgroup, unless someone is
trolling.

Next time the "I can't hear WWV!" question pops up I'll enjoy your
patient explaination.
