It seems to me that this may be similar to the time when the Government threatened to cut the VHF weather broadcasts or when schools threaten to cut popular arts or sports programs.  I could be wrong, but they may simply be trying to gain sympathy for a larger budget.

Nothing slows a money hungry bureaucrate, when on the trail of free money.

and closing something they don't know about.. is free money to spend on a pet

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.

Seems to me the people who should be screaming bloody murder are all the
millions with watches and clocks
that correct using the 60 kHz transmissions . Most of those millions
probably know absolutely nothing about this .
How do you reach them ?
