When did WWV start sending the data on 100 Hz?

I was playing with a WWV simulator the other day, and was surprised to hear it.

I remember listening to WWV when I was a kid. That was back in the '50s. I don't remember hearing the 100 Hz blips. Of course, I could have been using gear that didn't have much of a response at 100 Hz.

Hal,

Your ears are correct; the 100 Hz code began in 1960. See:
