Title: WWV 25 mHz
Post by: vk3bvw on July 10, 2014, 0505 UTC

Apologies for this post being placed in the SWBC forum (I have already posted it in the Utility forum as well).

Can someone Stateside tell me if WWV is still operating on 25 mHz at the present time? I've been hearing seconds ticking off for about the last 7 hours (2200-0500 UTC), but no announcements. Is it operating 24 Hrs (the website says no, but that may be an old notice).

The signal is faint, so perhaps the tick is cutting through but not the voice anncts. If it is WWV, then this is indeed rare reception for 1 kW up on this freq, especially in midwinter when this band is pretty well closed to my part of the world! Solar flux numbers have been very high over the last week, so perhaps it really is WWV…..

Thanks for any advice.

I logged WWV on 25 Mhz at 14:45 utc today.  I hadn't tried for it since they first reactivated it. I couldn't hear it then but they were definitely there this morning but pretty weak ,never above S1.

Great, thanks for the feedback. Much appreciated. I'll continue to keep a watch out here.
