The higher WWV freqs are generally better propagated during the
daytime,
If your listening is mostly at night then 5000 will likely be stronger
as well
as some strong Caribbean stations (RHC) in the 60m band.-

Utah might be too close for the HF. -

Not too close for the evening 2500kc WWV,
then there's WWVH for daytime.

WWVB would work 24/7 there.-

of course WWVB works almost everywhere,
even on my wrist watches.

yahoo! i was able to start getting several signals yesterday late
morning. *most were in the 13-15000Kz range, most were in spanish so I
was never sure if they announced where they were located or not. I did
pick up LWF.org on 13570. they are out of TN but I am sure they have
repeaters everywhere including Utah.

- I have been stringing my little wire antenna
- around the room across several big windows
- but yesterday *I tried an experiment of winding
- it around a 6' PVC pipe and leaning it against
- the window and that seemed to give as good
- or better a signal.
