I haven't played with my shortwave radio in awhile, not since I lived
in VA, and now that I'm in Pittsburgh, I broke it out - I used to
always check/set my digital watch on shortwave, at 5, 10, or 15 MHz,
there were probably others. Now that I'm in Pittsburgh, I am not
picking up anything at those frequencies, which surprises me. Have
they moved, or any explanation as to why I'm not picking them up
anymore?

While I'm at it, is there a list anywhere of shortwave radio
broadcasting frequencies (along with the content of each frequency, of
course). I did some searching on this group for FAQ, but haven't
found anything yet -

WWV (male voice) is in Colorado. WWVH (female voice) is in Hawaii. You
can get them at the right time. You most also try CHU near Ottawa
which is, after all, closer to Pittsburgh than Colorado. 14670 (3 kw),
7335 (10 kw) and 3330 (3kw)

If you just want the right time, try your computer clock.

In Windows XP and, I assume, Vista, a computer on the internet is,
unless you change it, adjusted over the internet every week.

Also, many computers on the internet will print a line with the local
time and date and disconnect when you connect to them on port 13. Of
course, some of these are more accurate than others.
