Where's WWCR?
« on: February 06, 2026, 0356 UTC »
I'm sort of surprised there isn't a thread on here, yet. WWCR has been quite noticeably absent from the airwaves for a few weeks now. I guess the ice storm that hit a few weeks ago did some pretty significant damage to their TX/antennas? Does anyone here know what's up exactly?

I've used 12160 to check conditions forever at this point.
