A ploy to keep funding?  From who? The president of the United States recommended defunding WWV in his 2019 budget recommendation submitted to the Congress. So, you're saying that the president threatened to cut funding to WWV as a ploy so that Congress would maintain this funding? Clever of him.

I had a friend ask me if something has happened to WWV's time
transmissions. He says the clocks in his home and his watch are
no longer syncing correctly. I think these are syncing to
signals at about 60KHz.

Does anyone know anything about this?
