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.
