[W8MWA] Your atomic clock won't work anymore

[Ryan Hansen]

Jan,

Though I don’t think defunding this service is a good decision, if Wikipedia is to be believed:

"WWVB, the 60 kHz station colocated with WWV that provides time for "atomic clocks," is not proposed for defunding."

Aside from the loss to hams of accurate frequency markers, it seems to me that consumer atomic clocks that set themselves automatically from radio transmissions will also stop being accurate, if this measure becomes law.  If I am wrong about this latter argument, please let me know.
