Hi Hank,
This is an exact quote from page NIST 25 of the proposed FY2019 NIST budget:
< www.osec.doc.gov/bmi/budget/FY19CBJ/NIST_and_NTIS_FY2019_President
's_Budget_for_508_comp.pdf>
"NIST will discontinue the dissemination of the U.S. time and frequency via the
NIST radio stations in Hawaii and Ft. Collins, CO. These radio stations
transmit signals that are used to synchronize consumer electronic products like
wall clocks, clock radios, and wristwatches, and may be used in other
applications like appliances, cameras, and irrigation controllers."

Hi Hank,
The 60 kHz transmissions are done by WWVB. No mention of WWVB being
impacted by the new budget proposal.
Just FYI, and 73.
