I also read some 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 have the freqs in memory on my transceiver.

Subject: [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
