[Elecraft] [OT] WWV Time Transmissions

[Scott Manthe]

A ploy to keep funding?  From who? The president of the United States 
recommended defunding WWV in his 2019 budget recommendation submitted to 
the Congress. So, you're saying that the president threatened to cut 
funding to WWV as a ploy so that Congress would maintain this funding? 
Clever of him.
