[KI4D]

And it is a cheap backup for frequency and timing due to GPS lost or
scrambled due to military actions.

Well let's start with all of those self-setting watches and wall clocks...
and then the propagation information that is broadcast.  Does GPS do that?

What is the justification for continued funding of WWV? Hasn't it been
obsoleted (if that's a verb) by GPS as far as being a time and freq
standard?
