[WIARC] WWV test Aug 14-24

[Dana Myers]

Some of our technician calls operators may not have HF radios. If you don't have a shortwave radio, you can dial up. 





The audio portions of the WWV and WWVH broadcasts can also be heard by telephone. 

To hear these broadcasts, dial (303) 499-7111 for WWV (Colorado), and (808) 335-4363 for WWVH (Hawaii). 

Callers are disconnected after 2 minutes. 

These are not toll-free numbers; callers outside the local calling area are charged for the call at regular long-distance rates. 




The link to the DOD MARS WWVB / WWVH survey is: [ http://www.dodmars.org/home/wwv-survey | http://www.dodmars.org/home/wwv-survey ] 




Also a number of folks (perhaps not ham operators) have "atomic clocks" which are set by WWV time signals. 

Those clocks would not remain accurate if WWV is shut down. This survey and show of support could be of interest to them. 



Thank you, Dana NA9DM 


>From 14-24 August, WWV and WWVH will be broadcasting a DOD message at 10 mins past the hour on WWV and 50 mins past the hour on WWVH. As part of the message, all listeners are asked to take a listener survey at the URL specified in the message. 

The results of this survey are shared with WWV/H personnel to show their NIST chain of command how often their stations are monitored and how the various timing signals and messages are used by the listeners. 

Please take a listen to this message and take the survey...as the saying goes, "every vote counts" and your input to this survey is being used to help demonstrate the importance of these stations. 

Thanks for your consideration in this effort.
