WBCQ 4790 kHz Test Update February 13-19 US dates (14-20 world
dates), 2022

Propagation testing continues on 4790 kHz using
0100-0300 UTC every night.  So far, the signal has been good to
excellent in most of eastern and central North America,
problematic due to CODAR west of the Rockies and fair to good in
much of continental Europe, especially Germany, the Czech Republic
and Finland.

On February 14 world date 0100-0200 UTC, there will be a
special tribute to World Radio Day and St. Valentine's Day
