WWVB QSL
« on: September 13, 2019, 2052 UTC »
This QSL card from WWVB just arrived. Received with an AirspyHF+ and my Crossed Parallel Loop antenna. I think the info card is a little out of date...  :)

I saw an engineer from WWV speak to the local radio club a few months back. If they did for WWVB what they did for WWV, a big stack of QSL cards was printed at one time. It's why WWV had the same card for decades, which he reported they finally ran out of, but it sounded like he wasn't thrilled with whatever new design they came up with. He wasn't thrilled with the old one either, so take that for what it's worth.

Anyway, I should QSL them sometime.

I figured that was the case, and obviously WWVB gets reported far less often.

I am not sure if I ever QSL'd WWVH, so I should probably do that.
