Abe,
with a name like Collins, you figure to know!
Don't forget WWVH broadcasting from Hawaii......Maui? Kuaui?
Anyway, to receive the WWVH signal, wait for WWV to go down, which formerly did on a regular, scheduled basis. You've than got a couple minutes to listen for WWVH. Being marginally nuts, I've done this.
These stations also don't have LOTS of power. 10kw for Hawaii and 20kw for Colorado, but I may be wrong.
The high frequencies of 15 and 20mhz are best during daylight hours while 5 and 10mhz are best later in the evening.
I've been a SWL longer than I've been into good stereo and have a now ancient Sony ICF-2010, which is a full featured radio with incredible performance. And like any classic, it's worth as much today as when I bought it.
Too much is never enough
