Iread another article recently that said while the broadcasts would be shut down, theofficial atomic clock time would still be available on line at: https://www.time.gov/ I also readsome comments on a blog where some felt WWV had outlived its usefulness. Regardless,I still tune into the broadcasts at times (as recent as this weekend) and havethe freqs in memory on my transceiver. Might beworth at least a letter like Dick suggested to show our support for those membersinterested in it being maintained. Is anyone hearing from our members on this? 73 Rick - K5UR ... -----Original Message----- From: Richard J.

As shown on https://www.nist.gov/director/fy-2019-presidential-budget-request-summary/fu... 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 _______________________________________________ arrl-odv mailing list arrl-odv@reflector.arrl.org https://reflector.arrl.org/mailman/listinfo/arrl-odv
