[OKDXA] NIST to Conduct Time and Frequency User Survey

[Bert Aaron]

The following from the ARRL newsletter:

The National Institute of Standards and Technology's (NIST) Time and
Frequency Division is conducting a survey to learn more about its users,
seeking to determine how the agency can make its services more useful in the
future. NIST services include WWV, WWVH and WWVB, which provide reference
time and frequency signals via radio. The NIST also provides the Internet
Time Service -- which provides accurate time synchronization to computer
systems -- and several other services to offer accurate time information via
telephone or web pages. Radio amateurs are encouraged to complete the
survey.
"If you use any of these services, we want to hear from you," said WWVH
Electronic Technician Dean Takamatsu. "The survey should take just a few
minutes to complete and your input will be greatly appreciated."
WWV and WWVB in Fort Collins, Colorado, along with WWVH on Kauai, Hawaii,
broadcast continuous time and frequency information to millions of listeners
worldwide. Information broadcast includes time announcements, standard time
intervals, standard frequencies, UT1 time corrections, a BCD time code,
geophysical alerts, marine storm warnings and Global Positioning System
status reports.
