Re: WWVB 1PPS clock?

 

I live in the Philly area. I can only hear it sporadically?at night. Indeed, I have a few wrist watches with WWV RX's in them . They try to sync at 1,2,3 & 4AM. This night time reception appears to be a "thing". I have many clocks that only try at night.

Maybe 600 miles is close enough for the groundwave??

Used to be that you could buy a tuned/resonant WWVB antenna from a guy in CT via ebay. He's got a few Youtubes about tuned antennas. In his video's?he's always able to receive WWVB on 60KHz with one of his antennas.

Really?? I didn't know that.? I have always been able to hear the 60 kHz signal 24/7 in northeast Oklahoma 600 miles away.? I thought WWVB was designed to cover at least the lower 48 states of US the same.? The only situation that I have experienced when it cannot be heard is when there is local interference covering it up.? I have literally never not heard it when I tuned it in with a decent receiver with almost any length of wire for an antenna.? Maybe 600 miles is close enough that it works all the time??

Have not tried this and don't know if it's even possible. But even if it is, in most areas of NA, it's only receivable at night for a few hours.?
