I found an article with comments at https://swling.com/blog/2018/08/nist-fy2019-budget-includes-request-to-shutdown-wwv-and-wwvh/ It is not clear whether WWVB will still be available for all of our cheap "atomic" clocks. One comment says that White House budgets are usually ignored in congress. Another says that it is NIST that cut WWV and WWVH, not the White House. Can anyone clarify the situation? Bill Hawkins Sent from my retirement home in MN Change causes confusion until new methods are learned, and a deep sense of loss when something familiar goes away. _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@lists.febo.com To unsubscribe, go to http://lists.febo.com/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts_lists.febo.com and follow the instructions there. _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@lists.febo.com To unsubscribe, go to http://lists.febo.com/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts_lists.febo.com and follow the instructions there.
