[Hallicrafters] WWV 25 MHZ ???

[Duane Fischer, W8DBF]

Fred, 	
	
Discontinued in 1977. But was it 'actually' in use prior to that or just there,
I wonder. The card from WWVH in Hawaii does show the frequency and is dated June
29, 1962.	
	
Don't you just love these mysteries!

 From the horse's mouth:
"Transmission on 20, 25, 30, and 35 MHz began in December 1946. The 30 
and 35 MHz broadcasts were discontinued in January 1953 and the 25 MHz 
broadcast was stopped in 1977. With the exception of an almost 2-year 
interruption (1977-78), the 20 MHz broadcasts have continued to this day."

"In 1966, the decision was made to move WWV to its current location, 
near Fort Collins, Colorado. The LF station WWVB went on the air in July 
1963 near Fort Collins, and it was decided that WWV would share the same 
158 hectare (390 acre) site."

"At 0000 UTC on December 1, 1966 the Greenbelt, Maryland broadcast was 
turned off and the new transmitter at Fort Collins was turned on."
