Ha ha! Wonderful. Just by chance, happened to catch it as the top the hour rolled over, so got to hear the full station ID. Great fun. But what do you do about propagation and weather announcements? :) My favorite WWV story: Was helping set up a ham radio station with a rather low-end transceiver (I did not select it...) anyway, there was this one multi-band antenna we were tuning up, and every time we got it close to matched, the receiver went nuts -- crap all over. I needed a signal that I knew would be reliable and where I knew what I would be hearing, so I tuned in 10MHz WWV. When the antenna got close to a good match, I started hearing Mexican polkas. I quickly dismissed the possibility that WWV had changed its programming..... As it turns out, our station was about 4 miles away from a local AM station and we were right in a major lobe of their pattern. The crappy front end on our receiver got totally crushed by overload from the AM station, which of course caused IMD products in the first mixer from "DC to daylight", as they say. Solution: Quickly knocked out a high-pass filter that we could transmit through at 100W. The Polka-Be-Gone(TM).
