They might, or they might not. Last I looked, it had just over 800
signatures.
The wild/crazy off the wall items generally had a lot more signatures. It
does not
appear to be a venue that attracts responsible and reasoned responses.
Further, if you look at:
https://forums.qrz.com/index.php?threads/wwv-discontinuing-operations.624002/page-15
you will see that congress has already said "no", and allocated more
money. Other
references claimed that congress has already said "no" to discontinuing the
radio
services.
It has also been pointed out that this is an example of "Washington
Monument
Syndrome" where government agencies threaten to cut the popular and visible
services if their budget drops.
So, before everyone panics, it would be good to look for current facts,
instead
of yesterday's hysteria.
