yes quite normal that low band is a gimmick just because they could add it to the radio.

Hi all.

I received my Kenwood TH-F6A today.  I really like it, but I'm wondering if
my poor HF receive is normal.

I am using the antenna that came with the radio, and the bar antenna is
turned on.

I tuned the radio to 2.5, 5, 10, 15, and 20 MHZ, and I was not able to hear
WWV on any of them.  I live in Iowa City, IA.

Is it normal not to be able to receive WWV with the stock antenna?

Thanks!

Aaron
