MW DXers. WWVA is down.
Just an FYI for all you MW DX people out there.
WWVA, out of Wheeling WV. towers went down in Wednesdays storm. they are right now on another freq. so, 1.170 was wide open last night, for anyone in their area. I caught 4 new-to-me id s last night on this freq. I'm east of Pittsburgh, and they weren't that strong here, but, it's wide open right now for DXERs in their area. enjoy. Drifter... |

You're in the skip zone, they normally have a good signal on the East Coast. http://fccinfo.com/CMDProEngine.php?...08625&sHours=N |

I know a couple of guys from West By God Virginia, from when I was in
the Army. We are getting some more stormy weather here, this afternoon.In my area, it started about half an hour ago.Severe T'storm here in Hinds County and some other Counties, warnings on tv.Pea size hail is being reported too. Nothing scares me worse than tornados! Scares the crap out of me! cuhulin |

Drifter... Monitoring 1170 with the Perseus. Looks like there is an IBOC sideband from 1165 to 1170. Checked - it is WHAM-HD on 1180 covering 1165-1195 in Rochester, NY. So if you hear digital hash on 1170 thats where its coming from. Jim |

According to their website, WWVA.com at 11PM EDT they are back on the air on their licensed frequency of 1.170 mHz. VegasNightOwl |
