| S1-0076 | Primary reason for calling. |
| S1-0077 | I find the info at 18 past the hour for an idea of propagatio. (sfi a k) |
| S1-0078 | This is all valuable information |
| S1-0079 | Easy way to get GPS status without needing radio li Easy way to get GPS status without needing radio link |
| S1-0080 | The geo alerts are my primary use of WWV/WWVH |
| S1-0081 | "I am a Ham radio person and Amatuer Astronomer. The Geo and Weather Alerts are needed here. Also, I show Ham Radio to school kids and groups that come to my house. I show WWV and WWVH to them everytime. It is part of showing them science." |
| S1-0082 | "I don;t need the marine weather info, it's on the web anyways." |
| S1-0083 | All of the services are very important to me. I rely on them as a one-stop shopping for the needed information |
| S1-0084 | "Of course value would, but I do not personally utilize these datasets. " |
| S1-0085 | call to check gps status |
| S1-0086 | "I use the Geo Alert and time clicks, watch for band fading etc. as an indicator of possible active or lack of on Ham frequencies." |
| S1-0087 | This is a valuable and needed resource. |
| S1-0088 | "On occassion, our research vessel, has used the Weather alert-Voice when other services were not available. Hi priority use ." |
| S1-0089 | Loss of valuable time sensitive information. |
| S1-0090 | THE PROPAGATION INFORMATION AND THE WEATHER ARE NECESSARY FOR SHIPS AT SEA |
| S1-0091 | Just would be a missed service that I would have to make up somewhere else |
| S1-0092 | GPS status is useful to me. |
| S1-0093 | I use these services for setting clock automaticly as well as propigation checks...etc. |
| S1-0094 | Main use is to obtain geo alert data during times with poor radio propagation |
| S1-0095 | Sorta Silly nQuestion! Because I use them! |
| S1-0096 | I use the Propagation information for prediction of conditions from west coast usa. Time important too. |
| S1-0097 | WE need it all. |
| S1-0098 | I do use it for solar weather info |
| S1-0099 | I use the geo alerts! |
| S1-0100 | I require timely GPS and weather information in my job as an airline pilot. |
| S1-0101 | This should be the same information found on WWV shortwave if radio reception is impossible. |
| S1-0102 | "use to evaluate GPS status, geo. alerts, and weather" |
| S1-0103 | "Although my present use of WWV/WWVH/WWVB is limited I believe there is great value in a known distribution point for weather, geo alert and GPS information." |
| S1-0104 | "I'm a ham radio operator and regularly listen to the geo-alerts, etc." |
| S1-0105 | "Because, I rely on WWV as my source for geo alert informaation." |
| S1-0106 | believe this to be very important to maritime and amateur radio use |
| S1-0107 | Would like to hear this before implimentation. |
| S1-0108 | Part of the reason for the call might be for this information if a radio is not available |
| S1-0109 | My desire is to get what I need (time)n and get out. |
| S1-0110 | GPS status information is what I call in for. |
| S1-0111 | The report should be the same regardless of the media used. |
| S1-0112 | We rely on the GPS Status info very frequently. |
| S1-0113 | That is needed info when radio reception or other access is not possible. |
| S1-0114 | That information is important to have when not available by any other means available. |
| S1-0115 | Telephone is used for Geo alert when conditions preclude HF reception. |
| S1-0116 | We want geo alert and GPS status |
| S1-0117 | I actually rarely use it for time. I check solar broadcasts via 303-497-3235. |
| S1-0118 | "My work requires that I keep up with the national weather and geo alert status. Many times, my computer is tied up and I need to check an alternate source." |
| S1-0119 | No Geo information= no propagation preditcability. |
| S1-0120 | The geo aler can confirm our on air observation of propagation problems |
| S1-0121 | "There are times that NOAA weather broadcasts are not receivable; then, these services are essential." |
| S1-0122 | "I use the weather and GPS information, and consider this source to be reliable and easy to obtain by way of broadcasting." |
| S1-0123 | the information is relayed via packet radio to multiple users. Helpful to amateur radio operators. |
| S1-0124 | Use for geo alert for HF radio prediction purposes |
| S1-0125 | services are usd and needed |
| S1-0126 | I call mainly to get an updated geo alert when I can't wait for the radio announcment at 18 minutes past. |
| S1-0127 | concise source of information not otherwise available by telephone |
| S1-0128 | The Geo and GPS information is used for our time system. |
| S1-0129 | I an an Amateur Radio operater & use the solar info. |
| S1-0130 | Use the geo alerts for propagation indications. Very reliable and convenient to go to WWV for this information. |
| S1-0131 | Time is most important data |
| S1-0132 | Alerts are often the best reason to call. |
| S1-0133 | "I usually call when I need time and/or geo info, and do not have access to an SW receiver. The geo info is particularly useful, and there are few alternatives to obtaining it." |
| S1-0134 | "When you want that information, thats where you get it." |
| S1-0135 | I use it to determine the reliability of the satellite constellation and enroute weather |
| S1-0136 | Don't need it. I live in the mountains of eastern Oregon |
| S1-0137 | "Our communications systems depends on these, and safety would be affected if any of these are lost." |
| S1-0138 | Provides information sometime used in search and rescue. |
| S1-0139 | Less service = less value |
| S1-0140 | Harder to get the other information from other sources. |
| S1-0141 | Less info = less value. |
| S1-0142 | I find the weather announcements to be highly informative and an effective way to alert friends of impending weather that may affect their ocean travels. |
| S1-0143 | We need WX info and geo alerts for propagation studies. |
| S1-0144 | it is nice to have a TOTAL package AS IS |
| S1-0145 | Use the geo alerts for propagation indications. Very reliable and convenient to go to WWV for this information. |
| S1-0146 | I lived in Hawaii & CA for several years. As a radio amateur it was very useful for many reasons. |
| S1-0147 | "When on the seas, the weather and GPS status are very important" |
| S1-0148 | For me that is the primary reason I use it. |
| S1-0149 | I use the GPS alerts to know when there may be problems with the aviation GPS |
| S1-0150 | "I want to hear from someone other than Alfred, the automator, when I talk to NIST." |
| S1-0151 | I sometimes don't have a shortwave receiver handy but would still like to hear the information on the broadcast. |
| S1-0152 | I like the weather announcements |
| S1-0153 | You should split the services; get 1 number for the combined geo/GPS/marine info and a secong for the time only. |
| S1-0154 | This would require using a second or third source. |
| S1-0155 | I rely on the computer to sync w/o my typing |
| S1-0156 | general valuable information |
| S1-0157 | I use these services |
| S1-0158 | do not know |
| S1-0159 | "I use the telephone line when I'm not near a SW radio, and thus need the other info, too." |
| S1-0160 | "I don' use the telephone system, I didn't know it was available. The wx, GPS, & Geo alert info is what I use for communication via amatuer radio." |
| S1-0161 | "Not only is the time-of-day service legendary, pertinent and accurate, so is the data that is provided on this line. The telephone service is fine the way it is." |
| S1-0162 | I use it when reception of WWV is difficult. |
| S1-0163 | As long as the frequency is in use it probably costs very little more to use it for other things |
| S1-0164 | where else are you going to find this information? |
| S1-0165 | "I am a marine electronic tech, it helps to know the status of the gps system." |
| S1-0166 | All of this information is available for a lot of issues and should not be deminished. |
| S1-0167 | at eightteen minutes after the hour I get the probagation report. |
| S1-0168 | I AM AN AMATEUR RADIO OPERATOR AND USE THE GEO ALERT FOR PROPAGATION PRIDICTION. I HAVE A GPS AND USE APRS. |
| S1-0169 | I would use the telephone when radio reception were not possible. As an amateur astronomer the geo alert is helpful. |
| S1-0170 | "I feel that for many people, they may not be interested in the extra information. They may be just interested in getting the UTC time and nothing else." |
| S1-0171 | "The other data is important to me. I rely on GPS status information, (for example) as an aviator." |
| S1-0172 | We access info from remote locations by a satellite phone link when we cannot receive WWV/WWVH. We make decisions about deployment of teams and radio net ops based on this info. |
| S1-0173 | "In the 1950's, only a voice announcement was heard. New technology has dictated that this additional information be broadcast as a """"standard""""." |
| S1-0174 | All the Information is interesting to me. |
| S1-0175 | "Except by using than an Internet or telephone connection, this information is not otherwise available by just using a simple HF voice radio. Depending upon your location a simple HF voice radio, may be your only source for this information." |
| S1-0176 | "If I'm accessing this info by phone, it is because, at the time, I don't have access via short-wave radio or the internet. However, I still need the same information (such as weather & geo alerts)." |
| S1-0177 | "as a amateur, i use the geo alert, sun activity, most every day." |
| S1-0178 | Use only time to adjust my clocks on phone system/voice mail. |
| S1-0179 | The present services should remain. |
| S1-0180 | This type of information is used frequently. |
| S1-0181 | This information is important if the normal channels of radio reception are not available when the information is needed. It serves as a reliable backup to the RF links in time of need. |
| S1-0182 | "When I travel and use GPS and want to know about the weather, it is invaluable." |
| S1-0183 | "the voice chip on the weather band sounds bad, (very hard to understand) if this what you are thinking of going to ..... then please don't. It is very hard to understand... A live person is the best way to go.. " |
| S1-0184 | Because those other reports are more than half of the reason I call... |
| S1-0185 | That is the reason for the call. To get that info without waiting for the general announcement on radio |
| S1-0186 | I rely upon those types of information. And find them interesting as well. |
| S1-0187 | "A voice notification is the easiest, most practical way to provide the information. The simple transmission of words is still the most reilable way to get this information to those that need it. " |
| S1-0188 | I use the BCD signals for phase and time calibration purposes. |
| S1-0189 | n/a |
| S1-0190 | Need for backup - If major geo storm - might not get radio signal - need land line. Also usefull when don't have radio or need geo/gps info now without waiting for 15-18 mins. past hour. |
| S1-0191 | All of these are valuable data |
| S1-0192 | A WOMAN VOICE WILL SOME TIME PEARICE THROW QRM AND QRN MOR THAN A MAIL VOICE |
| S1-0193 | "Could affect knowing propagation, and wx conditions. Don't change!!" |
| S1-0194 | Because you normally can't get this information without a hassle. But WWV is great. You just set the frequency and all of that information is right there. |
| S1-0195 | Sometimes (but rarely) I need the information when I'm in the Colorado mountains--away from the computer and in an area with very poor WWV reception. |
| S1-0196 | I use GPS status |
| S1-0197 | Convenient source of this information |
| S1-0198 | "I use the weather reports and GPS information for my sailboat, ham radio, etc." |
| S1-0199 | after 14400 hours fo flying intermational the information is very useful. |
| S1-0200 | Only used for time |
| S1-0201 | the other information is also useful |
| S1-0202 | Sometimes I am only near a telephone and have no other way to get the information. |
| S1-0203 | I use the geo alert & the GPS ststus |
| S1-0204 | geo alerts are very useful to radio users. info not readilay available in remote areas. |
| S1-0205 | Amateur radio operators want to know the geo info. |
| S1-0206 | ham radio op and need geo alerts for radio propagation |
| S1-0207 | need all information |
| S1-0208 | "Weather, GEO Alerts and GPS are just as important. " |
| S1-0209 | "All is very important is a much needed service for all Time, Weather, geo alert, and GPS these services must be kept on line/in service." |
| S1-0210 | My main utilization of WWV is for freq calibration. |
| S1-0211 | I depend daily on the GEO alert. |
| S1-0212 | Users without aother access would suffer and it is sometimes more convenioent via voice. |
| S1-0213 | "Often I'm away from my computer, and then I like to get the Geoalert at H+18 on WWV." |
| S1-0214 | we use the other info |
| S1-0215 | Didn't find the list of altermate methods. |
| S1-0216 | Voice is still the universal method of information decemination. It is like the absolute fallback that works when nothing else is available. |
| S1-0217 | "While these aren't """"vital"""" to me, I find them occasionally useful as well as summaries amd interpretations of them by others" |
| S1-0218 | "The """"Yes"""" above answered inadvertently. Pls cancel." |
| S1-0219 | "geo,and gps service is inportant to many !" |
| S1-0220 | telephone sumary is an easy way to check up on system status |
| S1-0221 | Being in the Military and an aviator we sometimes are in areas were WWV WWVH are our only link to time and GPS status. Also being a Ham operator and civilian pilot these pieces ofinformation are invaluable. |
| S1-0222 | The geo alert is important to me. |
| S1-0223 | The GEO Alert information is of great importance to me. |
| S1-0224 | I use the time to set computer and network time and the the frequency to calibrate trasnceivers. |
| S1-0225 | Sometimes I rely on the geo alert and weather functions for planning purposes. I would have to call other [unknown] places to get the entire picture. |
| S1-0226 | HF propagation reports |
| S1-0227 | use it for my satellite tracking program |
| S1-0228 | Sometimes it's the only accessable outlet for this information via cell phone. |
| S1-0229 | Ham radio propagation and GPS user |
| S1-0230 | "Sometimes during search and rescue operations, it is nice to have weather warnings come across while settings up radio equipment." |
| S1-0231 | "I'm not calling just for the time. Other information is important, too." |
| S1-0232 | Need for testing and calibration |
| S1-0233 | These other services are also quite handy and very much required. |
| S1-0234 | There are different users for different reasons. All alerts are of value to someone. |
| S1-0235 | weather and geo alerts are very important in predicting and scheduling reliable radio communications communications |
| S1-0236 | HF propagation information is very important for me. |
| S1-0237 | WE WOULD HAVE TO FIND ANOTHER SOURCE OF THIS INFORMATION. |
| S1-0238 | "Standard Freq for calibrating equipment, Geo alerts are quick, simple, and easy to understand. Easier to tune a radio than go online and search for this info." |
| S1-0239 | The solar terresterial indices are VERY important to me. |
| S1-0240 | GPS information required for time coorelation with data collection devices which use military PLGRs for position and time. |
| S1-0241 | "I depend on the geo alert to prepare for possible upcoming communications disruptions. All of the other information is very useful as well. It is very easy to listen to the information using an HF receiver, while in the field." |
| S1-0242 | "Because I use the weather, geo alert, and GPS information regularly. If these went away, it would reduce usability by at least 60%." |
| S1-0243 | "I depend on """"geo alerts"""" for indicatiors of frequency useability. How the different bands will be propigation wise." |
| S1-0244 | "Those services provide accurate and timely information when needed in """"real"""" time -- on schedule" |
| S1-0245 | "I use GPS and Geo alerts frequently,Weather is not as important as I am stationary not on a ship" |
| S1-0246 | Would not be able to getthe those services. |
| S1-0247 | Somtimes this is the only avenue to access this information for myself. |
| S1-0248 | The weather and GPS status is important. |
| S1-0249 | the weather and GPS information is important. |
| S1-0250 | weather & geo alert status is important |
| S1-0251 | We don't use the weather or GPS status information. We continually use the geo alert information. |
| S1-0252 | One of few sources of geo info from indoors where sigs don't penetrate. |
| S1-0253 | As a amatuer radio operator this information is very important in checking propagation. |
| S1-0254 | need geo alerts. |
| S1-0255 | THE WEATHER AND GEO ALERTS ARE VERY IMPORTANT TO ME FOR RADIO PROPAGATION FORCASTS. |
| S1-0256 | This sometimes is the only reliable source I have for accurate geo alert info. Would hate to see it go away. I can dial in from my computer and get all the info I need to set up my HF systems for the next few days. |
| S1-0257 | I use the GPS status info. |
| S1-0258 | "The information is important. The GPS status is used for traveling. the geo aleart I find to give it to people around the world on the internet, and the weather is important to hear for us who are into to weather meterology" |
| S1-0259 | geo alerts and forecasts help me determine whether I should plan certain radio activities or not |
| S1-0260 | Seventy five percent reduction in the service available. |
| S1-0261 | I use a gps daily and need to know how correct the placement is. |
| S1-0262 | Reduces the flexibility of reception venues. |
| S1-0263 | This service is not available in any other authorative source. |
| S1-0264 | I think it is interesting to get the additional information |
| S1-0265 | "Currently, best and most trusted source of this info." |
| S1-0266 | others may find them inportant |
| S1-0267 | there are many different reasons that different people have for using each of the different services. We need them all. |
| S1-0268 | I use the NIST weather over the NWS becaues I get it sooner |
| S1-0269 | GPS is being used more and more in our daily life and the status of the service is very important. |
| S1-0270 | Need the information when radio conditions do not permit reception |
| S1-0271 | I use it. |
| S1-0272 | Intelligibility would be diminished |
| S1-0273 | I feel it is important mainly for marine operators. |
| S1-0274 | Use data for amateur radio hobby. |
| S1-0275 | Don't use this. |
| S1-0276 | It is a dependable means of information retrieval when no other method is at hand. |
| S1-0277 | "I depend on WWV to set my computer clock automatically for satellite tracking, logging for hamradio and other electronic experiments." |
| S1-0278 | "The only reason for me to call is the A- and K-index. However, I call 303-497-3235, only when I cannot get the values via radio." |
| S1-0279 | Many Amateurs depend on this service to find out Band conditions |
| S1-0280 | "The other services, especially weather, is important to me." |
| S1-0281 | "When I call, it's because a radio isn't available. I still need all the info." |
| S1-0282 | I use this service when my radio isn't handy. It's good to have the information wherever I happen to be. |
| S1-0283 | The GPS status assists people using GPS while searching for emergency transmitters used by hikers and downed airplanes. The sun spot indexes help radio operators determine propogation in the HF bands. |
| S1-0284 | solar flux data and weather are important to me |
| S1-0285 | Because I need all three for my purposes |
| S1-0286 | "As a Oceanography professional and navigator, there are times when being able to call by phone and get current status is important altho this is usually done by radio. The information by phone is a reliable backup. " |
| S1-0287 | Use weather geo alert and GPS status information |
| S1-0288 | "If propagtion is unfavourable, I use the phone as a backup to get the geo alerts to find out what's up." |
| S1-0289 | geo alert is the most important thing for me |
| S1-0290 | "The more information, the better, as long as time is the primary data listed." |
| S1-0291 | "When unable to receive HF signals, this information can't be had easily in other areas of the world." |
| S1-0292 | "WWV announcements are very useful, and I would be very disappointed if the amount of service provided by the station was reduced. " |
| S1-0293 | I use the Wx and GPS information every day. |
| S1-0294 | geomagnetic and solar information is the main item I listen for. I'm a Amateur radio operatio. VHF weak signal work is my interest. |
| S1-0295 | Those are features that I use as regularly as the tim of day service. |
| S1-0296 | I sometimes use the dialup to receive A & K indicies/ GPS status when HF propagation is poor. Not only for time measurement. |
| S1-0297 | convenience |
| S1-0298 | GPS status essential for many aviators |
| S1-0299 | I listrn to geo alerts for communications |
| S1-0300 | I do not use telephone service. I inadvertantly checked this block |
| S1-0301 | "I find the geoalert messages very important, especially in times of high solar activity. However, I also get reliable information from www.sec.noaa.gov." |
| S1-0302 | The geo alert is extremely valuable.. |
| S1-0303 | "I use the telephone when I don't have access to my SW receiver, so sometimes I need just the time, others the geo alerts and GPS status." |
| S1-0304 | "There are not many places where we can get Geo Alert or GPS information. Sometimes we don't have access to the WWV signal, so the phone service has been very useful. Our field personnel can access the information without a SW receiver." |
| S1-0305 | like the |
| S1-0306 | The checking of GEO ALERTS via phone is required when reception is not possible via HF services - due to some solar/geo activity that affects HF services. Weather and GPS info can be skipped with no adverse effects. |
| S1-0307 | Many use this information and depend on it's expected accuracy! |
| S1-0308 | Geo alerts are very important to us |
| S1-0309 | you might as well just call 818 853 1212 |
| S1-0310 | When in remote locations w/o any other communications than SW RCVR this info is vital |
| S1-0311 | Allows fast check of geo alert and GPS status without needing computer and internet access. |
| S1-0312 | All information together makes the real purpose and completes the ultimate needs. |
| S1-0313 | Because geo alert information is highly useful. |
| S1-0314 | quality is decreesed because most listening audience relies on this information |
| S1-0315 | Radio operators use the geo alert to find out what bands to use |
| S1-0316 | Not that important to me |
| S1-0317 | "It is important to have a reliable, stable and known source for this onformation. Through the use of HF, it can be accessed anywhere when needed. " |
| S1-0318 | "Use geo alert for sw radio reception, use weather for hurricane location only." |
| S1-0319 | "As an Amateur Radio operator, and an avid camper/backpacker I can't always get to a short wave radio to hear the broadcasts. And I rely on this information for DX Spotting not to mention GPS information." |
| S1-0320 | Inf of some value |
| S1-0321 | on the rare occasions that we need it we need it very much |
| S1-0322 | The geo alerts are essential for mobile marine radio and emergency assistance operations. |
| S1-0323 | I use both the standard frequencies thata I can hear and tne space wx reports to evaluate HF radio prpagation. |
| S1-0324 | Your station provides multiple information from one source. No need to go else where. |
| S1-0325 | "This is the only source of all the required info, in one place--this is a really valuable service." |
| S1-0326 | Needed info would not be available. |
| S1-0327 | "If I _just_ want to know what time it is, I can look at one of the numerous clocks around here, or call time and temp. Sometimes I need more information -- usually if I need to use the phone for any WWV services, I need geo alert info. " |
| S1-0328 | very useful information for people in probable earthquake areas |
| S1-0329 | "From my normal location in Colorado, frequently radio reception of WWV is marginal, leaving necessity for telephone service to fill in gaps." |
| S1-0330 | "I use the telephone when I'm not near a radio. If all information was not given, there would be no reason to call. " |
| S1-0331 | Wx is significant. GPS Status can be absolutely necessary |
| S1-0332 | "more info is better, thank you" |
| S1-0333 | Very interesting infomation. Sometimes helpful in HAM radio. |
| S1-0334 | Geo information is important for Amatuer Radio applications. |
| S1-0335 | Weather is important as are the other services |
| S1-0336 | I often need the information contained in the voice announcement. |
| S1-0337 | Sometimes reception of WWV/WWVH GeO and GPS status info is difficult to receive with equipment on hand. |
| S1-0338 | "The reports are important to know the conditions of solar flare, gps status and weather." |
| S1-0339 | For navigators and GPS users this information can be not only usefull but necesarry. |
| S1-0340 | Being a amateur radio operator I find all the information given by wwv very important |
| S1-0341 | for the avgerage navigator more information is always better than less. |
| S1-0342 | "A professional pilot, I use the services on HF on flights. Sea states and geo alerts are vital. " |
| S1-0343 | Having phone access to GEO info is very handy when I am away from a SW radio receiver. |
| S1-0344 | Accurate time of day hacks are the most useful aspect of the dialup service. |
| S1-0345 | This is sometimes the first notice I get of geo alerts |
| S1-0346 | "When consulting with individuals related to general communications issues, I find the availability of your services extremely important. I know of no other facilities where I can consistently get this type of timely information. " |
| S1-0347 | "Though I heavily use only the radio services of WWV/ WWVH, the voice announcements important to my use would be the geo alert data and GPS info, in addition to the time/frequency features I rely on. " |
| S1-0348 | The comparision to WWV/WWVH can be useful. |
| S1-0349 | Thats what make WWV unique the different services it provides. |
| S1-0350 | This is our primary means of discovering GPS status information. |
| S1-0351 | We like to have the other resources available when needed... |
| S1-0352 | We need the weather for Maritime Mobile information. We use the Geo Alert info for propogation studies and we need the GPS information for APRS. Please continue these services. Thank you. |
| S1-0353 | How else will we get GPS info? |
| S1-0354 | "While I rarely need it, this information would otherwise be hard to obtain." |
| S1-0355 | The telephone time-of-day is an excellent replacement when I cannot get to an appropriate shortwave receiver. |
| S1-0356 | Need all information |
| S1-0357 | Should be identical to shortwave broadcasts as backup in case of signal or receiver failure. |
| S1-0358 | Like to hear the GPS and Geo status. |
| S1-0359 | "I operatate goes radio, I only need time." |
| S1-0360 | "I use the solar numbers in research, freq std for radio alignment, time to set my watch !" |
| S1-0361 | "Though I do not, at present utilize these services, they could be of great importance in the future and I am sure they are extremely valubale to many users. ba" |
| S1-0362 | Require voice info on geo alert!! |
| S1-0363 | It would mean taking time to look the up on the web. |
| S1-0364 | GPS INFO. FOR SURETY RE REMOTE GPS RECEIVERS |
| S1-0365 | Every part of the Time and Frequency services is used and is very important in on way or another. |
| S1-0366 | i dont like it |
| S1-0367 | would deture from what wwwvh is all about |
| S1-0368 | As a MARS radio operator the propagation info. is very important to me. Especially in an emergency. |
| S1-0369 | Need info |
| S1-0370 | Autoamtic Instumentation need this |
| S1-0371 | This is useful information that without would decrease the quality of service expected from NIST |
| S1-0372 | I need the ticks and auto-voice |
| S1-0373 | "if the voice does not provide this information, then we would lose a lot of information." |
| S1-0374 | other info is vital |
| S1-0375 | GPS status info is essential prior to departing on a wilderness trip. |
| S1-0376 | enjoy the other reports |
| S1-0377 | Need only the time |
| S1-0378 | Each of these services has it's place and importance. |
| S1-0379 | This provides a nice backup service. |
| S1-0380 | I have a watch to tell me the time. My watch cannot tell me the geo status now the GPS status! |
| S1-0381 | weather alerts are particularay important in tornado areas. |
| S1-0382 | "Dialup is used at times when noise or interference is present on HF. Without the same information, geomagnetic or GPS info would be missed." |
| S1-0383 | some necessary info would be missing. |
| S1-0384 | Want the other info. |
| S1-0385 | This highly addurate service is very helpful to many ppeople for different reasons. I appreciate it. |
| S1-0386 | Radio is a better medium |
| S1-0387 | only need time sets by phone |
| S1-0388 | Less information would be available. |
| S1-0389 | I use the data and that may be the only way to get the information. No radio available. |
| S1-0390 | weather is weather time is time |
| S1-0391 | Other features of little use by me |
| S1-0392 | Usually only need a time tick to check chronometers. |
| S1-0393 | "with no gps info, not sure of acc." |
| S1-0394 | Data is more reliable if from different sources |
| S1-0395 | Weather alerts and Geo Alerts are of high importance to me when I am traveling and only have a cellular phone handy. |
| S1-0396 | "I usually do not call for time, but for geomagnetic conditions." |
| S1-0397 | All I'm interested in is the time. |
| S1-0398 | Only way I have to get the info. |
| S1-0399 | "I use the GPS alot, and like to know the status of the constellation when necessary." |
| S1-0400 | Because I would have to rely on EMWIN which is clumsy. |
| S1-0401 | use as backup when can't rx wwv |
| S1-0402 | I'm quite used to the present format |
| S1-0403 | It is important to know that the telephone broadcast is similar to the radio broadcasts... |
| S1-0404 | Other information you provide is of excellent value and should be continued. |
| S1-0405 | People who use the phone service must do it for a reason and must have a need for the info. |
| S1-0406 | The tone helps set the freq on Radios |
| S1-0407 | "In extreme conditions, or when travelling beyond the range of WWV(H)'s usual signal, can be helpful to hear the exact broadcast via """"clean"""" telephone lines, esp. for propagation information." |
| S1-0408 | "geo alert and marine wx give me an idea of what kind of conditions I will fly in, and what kind of atmospheric propagation I will experience. (Airline Pilot)" |
| S1-0409 | I need the information provided in the weather and geoalerts bulletins! |
| S1-0410 | I use the atomic clocks sold by Sam's. The atomic clocks are corrected six times per day via a signal from Colorado. Thanks for the wonderful service you provide. |
| S1-0411 | "when time changes occur, leave off everything else, such as your survey announcement. Busy signals. All these surfey intials are like code to answer intellignetly for the average submission. We don't know what they mean." |
| S1-0412 | Sometimes no radio receiver is available. |
| S1-0413 | I use these services a lot as a pilot. |
| S1-0414 | These additional announcements such as wx and gps status are very useful and should remain part of the service. They are a reliable source for this type of information. |
| S1-0415 | "The weather, geo alert and GPS status info is used fairly often." |
| S1-0416 | It is the easiest and quickest access portal to these data |
| S1-0417 | want as much info. as possible |
| S1-0418 | It provides a preflight check on GPS status and WX |
| S1-0419 | We depend on GPS |
| S1-0420 | Use propagation info for Amateor radio frequency openings |
| S1-0421 | "We are located on the Gulf Coast, conditions are of prime interest to us and customers. (Boaters- Local fishermen, charters, etc. " |
| S1-0422 | Less information |
| S1-0423 | Weather & geo info is important. |
| S1-0424 | Need GPS status |
| S1-0425 | all the information is necessary at different times |
| S1-0426 | All that I am interested in is the time. |
| S1-0427 | I have interest in these subjects |
| S1-0428 | As a ham radio Op I rely on the Solar info and freq standard . GPS and geo alert is not so important . |
| S1-0429 | reduced utility |
| S1-0430 | I heavily rely on the service for GPS outages and solar activity. |
| S1-0431 | "That info is helpful, at times. " |
| S1-0432 | This is a good backup for the HF services and all announcements should continue via the phone service. |
| S1-0433 | Those are valuable services. |

| S1-0468 | "I don't always have access to a SW radio or a computer, the phone service fills these gaps." |
| S1-0469 | I frequently use the information provided during the first 18 minutes of the WWV broadcast--all of it. It is important for celestial navigation and other interests. Not everyone has access at all times to computer systems for this information. |
| S1-0470 | Good as backup when WWV/WWVH not clearly received. |
| S1-0471 | Radio reception is marginal in a high RF environment and heavy steel structure. Telephone is sometimes the most reliable mode. |
| S1-0472 | Weather information is available via WWV when not available otherwise. Geo alert info is more readily received via WWV than other sources. |

| S1-0487 | The other information is valuable sometimes |
| S1-0488 | "When I am unable to access a radio, I can still get the info I need via telephone." |
| S1-0489 | "While time is the most important information, I also find great value in the other information for storm awareness & tracking, radio propagation, and GPS status." |
| S1-0490 | Gotta have that GEO Alert info. |
| S1-0491 | "As a frequent traveler I use the weather and GPS information quite often, sometimes several times per day." |
| S1-0492 | I cannot find out the time and to figure out what is asked on your survey requires mensa membership. GET MORE USER FRIENDLY!!!! |
| S1-0493 | I like and use the propogation announcements and other features included. |
| S1-0494 | I need the pulses to set my clocks... plus i need the solar propogation information to know how communications will be affected. |
| S1-0495 | Lack of HF propagation info |
