It all seemed so simple, two weeks ago: wind some wire, solder a connector, and Hey...presto! a clean WWV signal. grin! --snip-- Thanks for your signal report and the antenna suggestion. I'll keep it in mind. On the other hand, my tuned (and currently horizontal) loop is suddenly picking up WWV/10MHz remarkably reliably, and I didn't even have to "sacrifice a goat at midnight"! grin Has your reception improved lately as well (last few days)? Don't know about WWV in particular, but this past weekend on the ham bands there was an obvious uptick in propogation conditions. The MUF was up enough that I heard several pileups on 15 meters and 40 and 30 Meters were more hopping than usual in mid-day/early evening. Well, I hope it continued for everyone else, but for me the WWV signal has faded back into obscurity. I can occasionally hear small, dim fragments of its former glory, and that for only 10-20 seconds at a time. I guess I really should have sacrificed that goat. grin?
