And don't forget 25 MHz.... they put that back on the air a year or so
ago...
Crazy idea! I own multiple frequency references, time servers, et al.
instrumentation and I STILL use WWV all the time to verify that my
radios and clocks are IN FACT close to perfect.

I hope this does not happen. I get questions from new Hams that ask, 'How
can I check my antenna easily?' - the quick reply is to check for WWV on
2.5, 5,0, 10.0, 15.0 and 20.0 MHz.
Also, from my days in the Merchant Marine until now, I for one will truly
miss this service if it is discontinued, and this isn't the first time it
has some up.
I also tell new Hams - if you can understand the message from WWV that
gives out the number in Colorado - your antenna should be in pretty good
shape for HF (and or VHF/UHF at least to verify
it can receive ok). At least it's an easy rule of thumb and an easy check
for most.
