Propagation is doing one of its fun things tonight.

15.000 MHz - 0100 UTC - WWVH, Hawaii, is coming in well and actually
overpowering WWV in CO.

Not all that unusual. I can hear WWVH on 10 MHz here as well. I don't
think that WWVH can actually 'overpower' WWV as the time announcements
themselves are co-ordinated so that they don't interfere with each other.

True, the announcements are spaced so that each can be heard distinctly,
most of the time, but a week or so ago I noticed that WWVH on 15000 was
coming in much more strongly than usual, while WWV was buried. This was
about 0300-0400 in Southern California. I hadn't heard WWVH at such a
signal strength before. This was a surprise, particularly since WWV is
rarely so dim.

Just when I think I know where propagation patterns are headed something
unexpected happens. For the past couple of evenings my favorite
Scandinavians have been coming in clean after some grungy reception in the
previous week (R. Denmark, 11635 at 0100-0200; Finland at 13730/11990 same
time); but last night they dropped clean away into hash at about 0130. And
V. of Turkey (11885) died about the same time. I didn't check the numbers
but I assume some solar activity was afoot.
