[arrl-odv:27469] Potential WWV and WWVH Shutdown

Is it in the interests of Amateur Radio and the ARRL that WWV and WWVH continue to broadcast time and propagation information? As shown on https://www.nist.gov/director/fy-2019-presidential-budget- request-summary/fundamental-measurement-quantum-science-and and even on http://www.arrl.org/news/nist-fy-2019-budget-would-eliminate-wwv-and-wwvh , it looks like there is a significant chance of them shutting down. There is support among the Amateur Radio community to keep them operating. I propose we send Congress correspondence indicating our support for maintaining operations. This might be accomplished using our lobbying firm. 73, Dick Norton, N6AA
