![]() ![]() You can also watch WWVB fade out an hour before local sunrise, and signal level increases at night an hour after sunset each day. Monitoring WWVB's signal strength can allow detection of solar flares, x-ray bursts, gamma ray bursts, or other space events that greatly disturb the ionosphere, causing a sudden drop or increase in signal strength. At night this effect dissipates and WWVB comes up to full signal strength. The signal from WWVB fades or is weaker during the daytime due to solar atmospheric ionisation. The receiver has a signal strength DC output available to allow recording of received signal strength to a chart recorder app. The intended application of this receiver is to monitor signal strength of time code station WWVB at 60 KHz.

We will move it to a permanent box with soldered connections. This is how we built it at first for testing. It works even when built like this on a solderless breadboard.

We used this VLF receiver to 'view' the big American solar eclipse of 2017. ![]()
