I never heard WWVH very well here in TX. It never dawned on me to switch freqs. DUH!? Perhaps, I'll fiddle around with that a bit, some time.

@kb5wqw 10 or 15 Mhz would be a good bet for you late evening/early morning hours I would guess.  That is when it has been best here lately. WWVH has been good at those times here lately. Good luck!

very good info on this video. i made 4 strong contacts on 28.405 USB 10 meters 2 days ago

@fordbroncodave Thanks! And good to hear you are making contacts on 10. It should be getting a little better all the time for the most part, should be fun and when we get more sunspots you should see some very long distant contacts sometimes even later in the evenings at times. I used to work Japan a lot around 11pm during those good sunspot times! I can't wait to do that again.

Sounds really funky in FM and SSB modes

Just love listening to that station. Sometime you get the double click.
