Here in a nutshell is the biggest problem in this newsgroup. A radio neither
knows nor cares about the political beliefs of the person operating it. I don't
either. Maybe if we stuck to talking about RADIO and kept all this garbage for
other newsgroups where it belongs...

That said...according to my calculations a half wavelength at 60 hz would be
4,100,000 feet. Good luck keeping the location secret. I suspect it might be
visible to the naked eye from anywhere in the western hemisphere - and possibly
from the planet Neptune. LOL!

Why don't you email the folks at WWVB and suggest they change their
broadcast frequency from 60 Hz to 60 kHz? I'm sure they'll appreicate
the suggestion.
