[TVARC] Fw: [WR4AYC] Possible Shutdown of WWV, WWVB and WWVH Time Stations

Hope not.  Len k4lfk





Someone just passed me the link to the upcoming NIST Budget Request for FY2019.

Under the section titled “Illustrative program reductions in FY 2019”, note the  entry of “$6.3 million supporting fundamental measurement dissemination, including the shutdown of NIST radio stations in Colorado and Hawaii”.

The entire paper is at this URL:

It’s hard for me to imagine not having a frequency/time standard on HF and VLF.  It was always a necessity in my earlier SWL and Ham Radio days and also during my military and State Department lives.  I suppose that the government has access to better means of frequency/time measurement with satellites now, but it is still hard for me to imagine not having the on-the-air sources – not to mention that it will render all my “atomic clocks” and weather devices useless.  Almost all of these either depend on WWVB or WWV for a time source.

Hopefully this will not come to fruition.  From my many years of writing budget requests in the State Dept bureaucracy, we quickly learned to fold drastic entries such as this into the budget request knowing that it would probably boost our chances of getting our budget passed rather than have someone make the decision to go ahead with the cuts.

Stay tuned!
