Good news for us as DXers who rely so much on WWV. Sounds like it and WWVH
have gotten a stay of execution. But we'll eventually have to adjust to life
without them.

Subject: [ndblist] NIST Funding
Funding for the US Department of Commerce, which includes NIST and WWV / WWVH /
WWVB, was authorized through December 7th, 2018 as part of the Continuing
Resolution component of the Defense / Education / HHS / Labor FY2019 funding
bill that was approved by the House on September 26 and signed by President
Trump yesterday, September 28th.
This averted an end-of-Fiscal-year shutdown that had been mildly threatened in
the past few months.
This approach kicks the can down the road until December 7th -- it funds all
agencies at the same levels they received in FY 2018 for all continuing
activities -- which would include the time stations because there was no
Congressional or Agency action to shut them down in FY18.
This date could mean that no actions will be taken until after mid-term
elections, though that's not known for a fact.
Details on the bill as passed and signed:
