[Boatanchors] NIST FY 2019 Budget Would Eliminate WWV and WWVH

[Randy Berry]

I hope WWV/WWVH doesn't go away. All my clocks are radio controlled
(Atomic) except for my computers which are NTP controlled. it's so
nice not to have to keep setting your clocks all the time. I'll have
to write as many representatives as I can and ask them not to cut the
service from the budget if it's not too late. This is the first I've
heard of this.

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.
