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.

Bummer. You're in the skip zone, they normally have a good signal on the
East Coast.

Hi Dave. not so much the skip zone, as they can play hell here in
daylight. after dark, that freq really gets busy, and WWVA just seems
to ride everyone else. 1.170 is a busy freq in the USA. 10 or 15 years
ago they moved their signals around a bit. back during the days of the
clears, i would get them like KDKA here. local news at noon here showed
all 3 of their towers down. pics should be somewhere on the web. looks
like they will be off for awhile.

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!

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.
