Ironic, ehh? That Canadian time station is so reliable,
yet the stations in the country WHERE THE ATOMIC
CLOCKS ARE ACTUALLY LOCATED have, over
the last 15 years, become hit or miss reception, here
on the east coast at least.


And can someone set me straight: From WHERE do
each of the following time stations transmit?...

WWV?

WWVB?

WWVH??

You're a ****ing idiot.

have, over

Especially when you don't even know what frequencies to tune in.
You've already explained that you don't understand the advanced math
required to tune a receiver to a station's frequency, because of your
shoe-sized IQ.

And can someone set me straight:


No, it's not possible. You're too ****ing stupid.

WTF? WWYWSIEB? WAFA. FCKWAFA.

Because knowing the locations might be helpful
in knowing which ones are EASIER TO RECEIVE.

You one of those Bushies who thinks everyone's
a "turr'ist"??


THINK.
(it's something you are still free to do!)

Correct, it has only worked once. However, it hasn't happened yet.

Wo-wo-WOOAAA! Chill!

You've gone off on a greater tangent
than Jimmy Blozet when his car threw
a wheel at Daytona.

All I want is to be able to tune in to 5, 10.
15, 20, or 25mHz once per month to
reset my windup and other dummy
clocks and watches! That's.

all!

Isn't it OBVIOUS? The FEDS are well aware of your UN-AMERICAN attempts
to obtain the ABOVE TOP SECRET details and locations of America's ATOMIC
TIME PROGRAM. You have GOOGLESOURCED the entire internet and, of
course, come up with ZILCH. Not even CNN or the NEW YORK TIMES would
dare divulge the SECURE location of America's ATOMIC TIME TRANSMITTERS.

By now, I'm sure you're aware that the US Government has SELECTIVELY
BLOCKED your reception of ATOM TIME. I urge you to turn yourself in to
the FEDERAL DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND ATOMIC TIME SECURITY immediately.
There is nowhere or nowhen to hide.


I can remember when someone could post a radio-related question here and receive
a useful answer in a reasonably short time from one or more of the many people
here who were actually knowledgeable about shortwave radio.

Now, sadlly, there is instead a bunch of nitwits who seem to think someone may
have somehow gotten hold of five cruise missiles and plans to launch one at each
antenna site for the five WWV transmitters (one for each frequency) using the
coordinates given in the newsgroup as targeting data. Pathetic!

WWV antenna coordinates (WGS84):

2.5 MHz - 40°40'55.0 N, 105°02'33.6 W
5 MHz - 40°40'41.9 N, 105°02'27.2 W
10 MHz - 40°40'47.7 N, 105°02'27.4 W
15 MHz - 40°40'44.8 N, 105°02'26.9 W
20 MHz - 40°40'52.8 N, 105°02'30.9 W

This information appears in NIST Special Publication 250-67, which was released
in 2005 and has complete info on WWV as well as on WWVH and WWVB - including
site maps and photographs. It can be freely downloaded in Portable Document
Format (PDF) from the following URL:

http://tf.nist.gov/timefreq/general/pdf/1969.pdf

My apologies to the OP for not posting this sooner. I honestly thought somebody
else would have finally gotten around to doing so by now, but apparently there's
an unfortunate lack of well-versed real radio hobbyists around here these days.
