Interesting, I haven't tried for WWV since I first got muine, but with propergation getting better...
I used a Russian beacon originally, then a Racal 5MHz source which is very accurate & stable.
But not the YouTube calibration procedure.

Jay, could you post the link here, save me (us) searching for it, please.

Merry Christmas and a Prosperous New Year with good DX
