"I synchronize clocks for use in Sports Car Club of
America road rallies. Our
clocks are designed to run a few percent fast or slow to slow down or
catch up until the digital readouts are """"clicking

These broadcasts are indispensable - we can't make phone calls or
access the internet from our cars out in the woods if the clocks become
questionable. |

"I have relied on NISA/Naval Observatory Master Clock
for 25 years...I would hate to see it go.
ALSO, with the advent of many new devices using the time pulse

WWV is an important part of my Teaching. I use it to
demonstrate proagation on different frequencies vs time of day and season
of the year.I also use it to calibrate both Amateur and commercial
equipment. Including College Lab generators. |
| S5-0525 |
"the gps system used for tracking is only marginally
accurate, having an inborn delay to accomplish the inaccuracy factor for
targetting sites using this system, therefore, my preference is WWV
virtually at all times" |

"I learned the Morse Code in 1967 because I heard WWV
station identification in Morse Code every five minutes and thought it was
really cool! I got my amateur
radio license a few years later, and I've been a time & frequency
fanatic ever since." |
| S5-0557 |
I am interested in astronomy and will set up the 60KHz
receiver soon. |
| S5-0558 |
"I use WWV services as a quick check of HF and VLF
propagation. Since WWV transmissions are spotty here on 20 mHz, and WWV no
longer transmits on 25 mHz, this limits its use for quick propagation info
for me. I wish coverage on 20 mHz were better and 25 mHz was
re-activated." |
| S5-0559 |
"You can use all the """"fancy
stuff,"""" but when it comes
""""down to it,"""" the real test
of a receiver is the real world. I
have used the 25MHz WWV for years as a bellweather indicator, and now must
rely on 20MHz. During high
sunspot years, a 30MHz beacon would be very useful.
I like to send a customer a receiver that WORKS!" |

"Seem to have been using WWV all my working life since
the early 50', first in Merchant Marine service, then in
Geophysics/Seismology 1960 to 1990. Now retired and use it for Ham
operations." |

As an amateur radio operator I find the services of WWV and
WWVB invaluable. I especially find the time information and propagation
information very important especailly when I am operating from a remote
location.The internet is great for that type information until one is away
from a local provider. Radio waves travel with us where ever we go! Thanks
for the years of fantastic service! |
| S5-0567 |
WWVB is our standard reference for precise carrier
frequency operation per FCC rules. |

"Most of my clocks and watches run off WWVB.
You can't get rid of that. There
are thousands of clocks and
watches out there. People
depend on it. It is the ultimate in reliable, easy to use and cheap time
source. It renders most other
clocks/watches obsolete." |
| S5-0572 |
I will be looking at more of the services for my use |
| S5-0573 |
"Please don't ever do away with WWV or WWVH.
It is very valuable to use for time, freq. &
propagation-related solar activity reports." |

"How does one answer for their WWV tuned wall clock or
wrist watch? Also, I'm shocked to see NIST use the prefix K (kelvin) for k
(kilo)in this survey! That drives me crazy after teaching SI to students
for many years. You can do
better than that!" |

I use the solar/geo data for help in predicting ham radio
propagation. |
| S5-0585 |
"Please do not discontinue the on-the-air services
from NIST. I rely on WWVB for
my clock's standards, and WWV/WWVH for obtaining time of day and
geomagnetic status information.
I not only use these while in the United States, but when I travel
outside the US as well; coverage is quite good all throughout the Americas." |

"Until I discovered your web page, we were always
arguing at the office at what time it was.
The computer clocks are awful, so we use you to set our
writewatches. As such, I am a
minor minor user, and use only the web page, but I've sent a link to your
page to just about everybody I know, because it's so fantastic a
tool." |

| S5-0590 |
"Regarding your first batch of questions, I really use
WWV & WWVB interchangeably depending on propogation. After the first few questions, I left portions on VB blank
because I probably care less about its broadcast since it is (for my area)
more or less redundant (except of course for 20 MHz).

The advent of person clocks and wrist watches using your
technology is a real help to most people I've found along with myself. I
like having the time coordination with 0thers... It is interesting to see
actually how many people's clocks and watches are ahead or far behind... |
| S5-0594 |
The presence of the WWV and WWVH transmitter signals
provide quick propagation checks. |

"Wish I could pick more uses in the User Data. I maily
use WWV/WWVH/WWVB for ham radio stuff, but have found so many other uses
for it that I can't begin to list them all - and it is not just hobby
related either. I use it for astronomy purposes and keeping all my servers
and workstations at work and home synced up. As a network admin, it is
amazing how nice it can be to have everything write timestamps at the same
time. I could not do my job very well if it was not for WWV/WWVB/WWVH" |
| S5-0612 |
Thank you for a neat service. Keep up the good work. Two
thumbs up! |
| S5-0613 |
I
programmed my receiver to jump between all your HF frequencies to
determine which frequency bands are open for the best signal stregth. This
helps to determine which to use for communications at any specific time.
It is very useful for this purpose. |

"A great service, and I hope no one takes the service
for granted. I have used it

"Seasonal propagation requires 2.5, 5, 10, and 15 MHz
here in Kansas City area; 20 MHz isn't useful often, yet I travel often
with SW receiver and 20 MHz serves well on east and southeast coasts
daytime. Spanish language interference is extremely bothersome on 10 MHz,
particularly spring and fall - it makes frequency calibration / zero
beating of local oscillator sources pretty difficult at times." |
| S5-0699 |
"WWV and WWVH are excellent in their consistency and
reliability, and their relativ geographic positions are perfect for
propagation studies, particularly the WWVH to Boston circuit.
Several of our staff are also licensed hams and rely on WWVH for
Pacific propagation checks and the geo alerts. NIST is an excellent use of taxpayer's money and performs a
fundamental service which has a profound positive effect on U.S.industry." |

reduction of services used would have detrimental
consequences as: (1) my expensive radio clock would not have a way to set
