This may not be the appropriate place for this but need to have amateur
radio ops read this as many rely on the "time standards" for our radios.
"NIST station WWV and sister stations are among the oldest radio stations in
the United States, having been in continuous operation since May 1920. The
station has transmitted the official US Time for nearly 100 years, and is an
instrumental part in the telecommunications field, ranging from broadcasting
to scientific research and education. Additionally, these stations transmit
marine storm warnings from the National Weather Service, GPS satellite
health reports, and specific information concerning current solar activity,
and radio propagation conditions. These broadcasts are an essential resource
to the worldwide communications industry. This petition requests continued
funding of these stations be maintained into the 21st century and beyond to
ensure future operations."
