I have a GPS Disciplined 10MHZ oscillator.

So I have time AND a 10MHZ signal to check my radio by.

If Uncle Sam is so short sighted, I won't miss it one single iota!

Ditto on setting clocks here since the 1950s.  Also, since I'm mostly into homebrew receivers, its nice to have dependable calibration signals on the WWV frequencies.  I use them all the time and would hate to see them go. CHU reception is not as dependable here.  JJY is occasionally heard under WWV / WWVH.  I have no GPS equipment here and don't plan on getting any, except in the car.  Help save WWV /WWVH, a valuable and economical resource.
