WWV 25MHz 13 MAY 2014 at 1430UTC
« on: May 13, 2014, 1545 UTC »
Picked up WWV 25MHz from Arizona this morning for the first time ever using my FT-817ND and MFJ 20-meter HF Stick.  Not the best antenna for the job but it worked.  Reception was pretty poor but it was still my first time picking up the station.  Anyone else pick it up for the first time??

It's difficult.  Most days I can barely copy even the 20MHz station.  I try to listen for all the WWV stations in the morning on the way to work and in the evening on the way home.  5, 10, 15MHz are usually slam dunks.  I don't know if I've ever heard 2.5MHz...

I've been trying for the 25 MHz WWV since they reactivated it last month & only heard it once but I can get a JBA carrier most days.
