WWV never gave aviation weather but aviation weather bulletins
are still around on multiple frequencies. If you tune around 8 to 9 MHZ,
just above 10 MHZ or between 15 MHZ and the low end of the 19-meter
broadcast band, you will catch commercial and military aviation
weather broadcasts on upper sideband.

	When it is dark, the frequencies tend to be lower but
they are still around. There aren't as many due to satellite
communications systems that are more reliable.
