I haven't played with my shortwave radio in awhile, not since I lived
in VA, and now that I'm in Pittsburgh, I broke it out - I used to
always check/set my digital watch on shortwave, at 5, 10, or 15 MHz,
there were probably others. Now that I'm in Pittsburgh, I am not
picking up anything at those frequencies, which surprises me. Have
they moved, or any explanation as to why I'm not picking them up
anymore?

While I'm at it, is there a list anywhere of shortwave radio
broadcasting frequencies (along with the content of each frequency, of
course). I did some searching on this group for FAQ, but haven't
found anything yet -

Thanks in advance -

The earths geomagnetic field is a little unsettled earlier today. Try
again later. WWV and WWVH are still on 5, 10, and 15 MHz.

There are many SW lists on the Internet. Just do a search.

WWV has been just barely audible here today on 15 MHz. 5 and 10 are currently
audible at 2120.

I remember about 30 yrs ago WWV used to come in stronger than any station
around. Did they reduce their power over they years somewhere?

Brian O,

A lot of local RFI & EMF type stuff {Electronic Noise} is being
generated in every home, house, apartment and building that
did exist 30 Years Ago. So the Level of Man-Made {Background}
Noise is much higher now then way back then. Which makes
today's Shortwave {Radio} Listening (SWL) more difficult.

The simplest and easist Antenna for WWV / WWVH
is a Dipole 'cut' for 10 MHz and positioned to receive
WWV from Fort Collins, CO.
WWV = http://tf.nist.gov/timefreq/stations/wwv.html
=OR= The 'sister' Time Signal Radio Station WWVH in Hawaii
NIST Radio Station WWVH located on the Island of Kauai, Hawaii,
WWVH = http://tf.nist.gov/timefreq/stations/wwvh.htm

ABOUT WWV in Fort Collins, Colorado, USofA
WWV = http://tf.nist.gov/timefreq/stations/wwv.html
-aka- NIST Radio Station WWV
Located about about 100 kilometers north of Denver, CO.
WWV = http://tf.nist.gov/timefreq/stations/wwv.html
* The WWV Radio Station Radiates 10,000 Watts {10 kW}
on 5, 10, and 15 MHz; and 2500 W on 2.5 and 20 MHz in
the Shortwave {High Frequency} Band.
WWV = http://tf.nist.gov/timefreq/stations/wwv.html
* Each WWV Radio Station Frequency is Broadcast from
a Separate Transmitter and Antenna. Although each Frequency
carries the same Information, multiple frequencies are used
because the quality of Shortwave Radio (HF) reception
depends on many factors such as location, time of year,
time of day, the frequency being used, and atmospheric
and ionospheric propagation conditions. The variety of
Frequencies makes it likely that at least one Frequency
will be usable at all times.
WWV = http://tf.nist.gov/timefreq/stations/wwv.html
WWV and WWVH Radio Signal Modulation
The Radio Signals Broadcast by WWV and WWVH use
Double Sideband Amplitude Modu*lation {Both the Upper
and Lower SideBands "DSB"}.
WWV = http://tf.nist.gov/timefreq/stations/wwv.html
The WWV and WWVH Signal Modulation Level is 50 Percent
for the Steady Tones, 50 Percent for the BCD Time Code,
100 Percent for the Second {Sound} Pulses and the Minute
and Hour {Sound} Markers, and 75 Percent for the Voice
{Time} Announcements.
