[R-390] WWV shut down. Alternate calibration methods

[Ron.K3PID]

What about the millions ( Yes millions) of clocks, weather stations, etc 
that use the 5 MHz WWV signals? They can't possible expect to just dump that 
support! Maybe it's a long term thing say over 10 years or something...

Just how does NIST expect that shutting down WWV will not have a serious
effect on the measurement of time?  Any other time signal is fraught with
failure, especially if it is internet based.
The internet will be the first major "failure" in the event of gummite run
amuck.

I just read that the NIST has an item in the 2019 budget to shut down 'NIST
radio stations in Colorado and Hawaii'.  I assume this is WWV and WWVH.
Here's a link to the NIST budget:

If they do go away, how can I calibrate my equipment?  I only know using
WWV.
