[CW] DO you want to see WWV go away?

Calibration of rigs is not the only use of WWV.  Most people use it to simply check the time against their clocks, even in this age of computers, as not everyone has one available.  It is also used to check out propagation.  You listen to the different freqs, and that tells you what is open to their particular area.
