[Elecraft] OT: Changes at WWV, WWVB

[Fred Jensen]

Interesting thread.  OMEGA was on 10 - 14 or so KHz.  There was a 
LORAN-C station in Gillette WY, maybe WWVB came from there.  I would 
imagine converting a 100 KHz transmitter to 60 KHz is a whole lot easier 
than 10 KHz to 60 KHz.

Near the end of the LORAN-C era, some of the transmitters were replaced 
by "Accufix" transmitters by MegaPulse Corp.  No oscillator(s) or 
amplifier(s), no tubes, basically harked back to spark ... except they 
used SCR's instead of a spark gap.  They also had a roomful of high-tech 
timing equipment, and produced exact LORAN-C pulses at a megawatt or so. 
  I doubt WWVB is using one of those. :-)
