I was listening to WWV on 10MHz earlier just to try and see if their signal got stronger or weaker after local sunset to give me an idea of propagation conditions. At 10:29UTC I heard them ID in CW several times, followed by a female announcer who was just barely audible.
1. I don't remember hearing CW IDs when I used to listen a lot back in the later 1980s and early '90s. Is this something "new"?
2. I've noticed that the pips come in loud and strong but the time announcements at the top of the minute are either barely audible or totally inaudible. Why is this?
3. It used to be that WWV always used a male announcer and WWVH used a female to make it easier for listeners to tell the stations apart. Do they still do this?
