Ground wave propagation at WWV's transmitter site

I didn't actually see any building at 2000 East County Road 58, but I did see the transmitter towers.

Wish they would bring back 30000 and 35000.  Having the 25000 25 MHz signal is handy for 11 meter and 10 meter band openings as well as indicating a possible VHF low 30-50 MHz band opening.
