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.

On good nights you can get The Pacific and East Asia very well in the
15 mHz and 17 mHz bands. Voice of Russia 17690 is coming in well right now.

Steve Holland, MI And I have a positive ID on it here in Hartford, MI, not far from Holland. Prop can indeed do marvelous things sometimes. In March of 1964 (I was 13) I was MW DXing with a 5 tube Admiral table radio. One evening, for ten magical minutes, I pulled, and got a positive ID on, an AM station in Denver Colorado that Whites told me was 5,000 watts - 1100 miles from my home at that time in Detroit! The one and only time that happened, but I never forgot it.

Off topic here, but still along the lines of great conditions, there's a thread
on the NRC (National Radio Club) list of a gent back in 1965 parked off the coast of Vietnam on a ship, who picked up WBZ in Boston on the AM band ... loud and clear. How would you like to be THAT guy?? jw wb9uai milwaukee |

... 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. I was on the island of Kaua'i for a week in May with some friends, and on one of our day trips we drove right by WWVH. We tried to drive in to take a look at the facility, but it was guarded by very threatening-looking military people (it's adjacent to the Barking Sands Missile Test facility on the southwest shore). I do have a picture of the road sign adjacent to the station, but it's nothing much.

... V. of Turkey (11885) died about the same time. Is this their Turkish language xmsn with all the great music? I haven't tried that freq lately. PS, what's happening in the Beatles NG? Haven't been by there lately...

How would you like to be THAT guy?? Late New Zealand DXer Arthur Cushen used to routinely pull in stuff like that. As I recall, he once said the only state he hadn't had much luck with was Maine...
