FYI...
 
I was hearing WWV/25 several weeks ago peaking
S8 here in Central Texas...  WWV/20 was inaudible!  ;-)
 
Path 155 degrees 795 miles... 
 
Below from the NIST.gov Web Page: 
 
As of 2042 UTC 7 July 2017 the 25 MHz broadcast is now on a turnstile antenna with circular polarization and will remain in this configuration until after the solar eclipse on 21 Aug 2017.  Signal reports are requested.
