Chris,

Still there.... I get 2500,5000,10000, and 15000... 20000 at daytime
on a good good day
CHU on 3330 and 7850 come in the best here

WWV is not very good for determining radio conditions, for most of us,
it comes from the opposite direction (Fort collins) than most
signals....

I think my environment is the least conducive to solid short-wave
performance of anyone's on he Steel-frame apt building, digital
OTA converter boxes, VCRs, and other electronics. I've got to take
this box down to a park away from this electro-magnetic stew some
evening and see what it can really tune in.

Nothing strange about it. As you might have heard, English and French
are both official languages of Canada, and since CHU is a service
operated by a Canadian federal government agency, it must therefore
provide that service in both official languages.

You have a gift for understatement.

I live about 70 miles south of the transmitter and almost
never hear WWV. WWVH comes in louder and clearer.

That's how it works. WWV is aimed over your head.

It's like that here in SC with the WHRI transmitters... not real far
away but a hard catch, especially at night.

Although the time is UTC I find it more useful to compare my clock
with my computer rather than listen to WWV. For most people who
doesn't have a way to reset the clock and have a computer provided you
have a fresh battery in it, your computer clock can be compared with
WWV and WWVH periodically. I use WWV to set my 24 hour clock on my
Grundig G4000A periodically and the G4000A as a reference to set all
the rest of the clocks in the House. The atomic clocks reference
frequncy is a VLF signal from the National Bureau of Standards.If my
memory serves me it is in the vicinity of the VLF band that Submarines
use for Communcations.

That's because of the skip zones of HF frequencies. Unlike BCB, there is
very little ground wave on most of HF, it's all skywave, and the skip zone
starts very close to the transmitter.

I can't hear a single numbers station attributed to the Mossad, but I am
less than 100 miles from anywhere they could be, probably less than 30.

I can't get KVOH, about 20 miles away. Could never hear Delano, either.
