Hello Roy,
That is a valid question to ask when someone it telling you to act on something. I'm struggling to understand why it still justifies spending x million per year. I set my clocks from GPS. I get propagation information by listening for beacons, PSKReporter, Tamitha Skov, NASA... there is an endless list (most produced for free) so I don't understand why it is still relevant at this cost of several millions per year. It comes across as someone arguing to keep horse stables open in New York City when most horses have been replaced by Fords.
Can we see a list of technical reasons it is worthy of this expense and reasons it is not worthy of this expense?
Sincerely, Marcus Sutliff/N5ZY

Ok, what exactly is the value that WWV provides us? I'd never even heard of it until this whole budget thing came up.
