Lou,
On the 2.5 and 5 MHz frequencies, and during the day time hours on 10 MHz,
you normally just hear Fort Collins which is 50 miles north of Denver. I
have copied, on good band nights, WWVH on 2.5 MHz. When I had a 2 element
40 meter beam up 70 feet back in the early 1990s, I sometimes could copy
WWVH on 5.0 in the morning hours right at sun up running 40 over S9 and
Japan that loud, too, on 7.0 when working DX.
Phil.
