I dont agree with it being wizzed away on that either. But there's alot more reliable technology then HF for this kinda stuff
Says a guy who lived in Alaska where HF was weak at best some days but satelitte stuff worked FINE Face it, the only folks I've seen complaining about WWV WWVH possibly going away is a bunch of DX'ers and ham radio guys. THe general public doesn't give a rats ass and doesn't need or use the service for the most part. Why spent millions every year for a few thousand commercials users.. when again, satelitte stuff is much better?
