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.
