is shortwave pretty much dead today? Can't even pick up WWV on 10 MHz.
Nothing but noise...

Hmm. Curious. I can usually pick up something, somewhere, but not today.
Will give it a while before theorizing further...


Thanks dxAce.

There sure are days and days.For example, when I was at Fort
Knox,Kentucky (ammo school) in 1963.I saw a beautifull tall blonde
civilian gal walking along the sidewalk.I was walking too,I started
walking faster and I caught up with her.I got to talking to her and I
asked her for a date.She said no.Later on that day in the evening, I
stepped over to the Fort Knox Post Grill.(eat joint) I saw her in there
sitting at a table with two guys.I pretended I had never seen her tall
blonde luverly self before.Himself (that's me,,, himself) turned around
and walked right on out the door.

There is a power outage in parts of New York City right now.Might affect
some parts of the subway system.

Maybe that's part of it. I just checked again, and am able to pull in WWV
on 10 MHz and 15 MHz, but it's poor reception. Still, it's there, so I
guess it's just a conspiracy of circumstances keeping me from testing my
latest improvement on the perpetual project.

Yes, that could be, I remembered it was right around 3.3 KHz it
sounded the same as WWV.
CHU must be a different station. I'm not familiar with a lot of SW
stuff yet.
