WWVH is the callsign of NIST's shortwave radio time signal station in Kekaha, on the island of Kauai in the state of Hawaii.
WWVH is the Pacific sister station to WWV, and has a similar broadcast format to WWV.
WWVH, like WWV, transmits the standard audio frequencies of 500Hz.ogg and 600Hz.ogg in alternating minutes, but when WWV is transmitting 500 Hz, WWVH transmits 600 Hz, and vice versa.

WWVH transmits on 2500 kHz with 5 kW of power and on 5000, 10000 and 15000 kHz with 10 kW of power.
After serving the Pacific area for 23 years from the Island of Hawaii, Radio Station WWVH was relocated to the western edge of Maui, the Island of Kauai, Hawaii.
The antenna system of WWVH in Hawaii is especially designed to minimize radiation back toward the U.S. mainland in order to prevent mutual interference with WWV on the same frequencies.

 WWVH Antennas
WWVH transmits time and frequency standard signals from Kauai, Hawaii on 5, 10 and 15 MHz using separate arrays of two half-wave vertical drooping-ground-plane dipoles spaced a quarter-wave-length apart.
The two dipoles in each array are driven 90 degrees out-of-phase with each other to create a cardiod radiation pattern that has maximum gain toward the west and a deep null toward the east to reduce interference to WWV's transmissions on the same frequencies from Fort Collins, Colorado.
WWVH also has standby omni-directional vertical radiators connected to standby 2.5, 5, 10, and 15 MHz transmitters that can be used in the event of antenna or transmitter failures.

 NIST Radio Stations WWV and WWVH
WWVH operates in the high frequency (HF) portion of the radio spectrum and radiates 10,000 W on 5, 10, and 15 MHz, and 5000 W on 2.5 MHz [NOTE: Due to problems with the transmission system, the 10 MHz broadcast has been radiating 5,000 W since 12/05/06.
The signals broadcast by WWVH use double sideband amplitude modu­lation.
The modulation level is 50 percent for the steady tones, 50 percent for the BCD time code, 100 percent for the second pulses and the minute and hour markers, and 75 percent for the voice announcements.

Both of these storms damaged the WWVH facilities, and the antennas were changed to different designs after each weather event.
Oddly, the official WWVH web site shows antennas from before 1992, which were destroyed by Iniki, and were replaced soon after the fall of 1992.
In addition, since the fall of 2001, the WWVH facility has been off-limits to the general pulic, due to it's location on the base of the Pacific Missle Range Facility (PMRF) at Barking Sands.

Both WWV and WWVH broadcast on 2.5, 5, 10 and 15 MHz, and WWV additionally broadcasts on 20 MHz.
Shortwave reception conditions vary greatly depending on the time of day, time of year, carrier frequency, etc., so multiple frequencies are used to transmit the same information, assuring that there is a good chance to receive the signals on at least one frequency at any given time or place.
Like WWVB, WWV and WWVH transmit Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), which is a 24-hour version of what we used to know as Greenwich Mean Time.

A sister station, WWVH on Kauai, Hawaii, was established in 1948.
Broadcasts include standard frequencies and time intervals, time of day (both voice and digital code), astronomical time corrections, and public service announcements (marine weather, geophysical alerts, Omega and GPS status information, and radio propagation information).
These broadcasts provide more predictable propagation than that of either WWV or WWVH, but the data rate is so low that only a slow digital time code can be broadcast.
