System as-is satisfies my needs.
I use it for time accuracy (manual and automatic setting) and for
A-440 calibration. I find these services useful and indispensable. |
| S5-1501 |
"I would like to know time in Europe, Australia,
Africa, etc." |
| S5-1502 |
Please keep up this valuable service.
Thanks for all that you do. |

I have been a user of WWV and NIST time services for over
25 years. I learned about
them through amateur radio but use the time services for setting time in
our companies PBX's and computers as well as my own personal use.
(I would have checked three or four of the use boxes if not
restricted to my primary use.) This
is a very useful service that I appreciate and use almost daily. |
| S5-1504 |
Clocks referencing NIST AND frequency standards are both
used at home (Home use AND Amateur Radio) AND at work (local govt.
communications). |
| S5-1505 |
I appreciate
the use of the service ..Thank you for years of good service ..

Use
atomic clocks which use the WWVB signal.
The signal is good in the house but very poor inside
an office building |

"As one of us gets the time to do it, we intend to use
NIST software to synchronize our computer clocks. Getting the time to do
that is the problem. We're
all sick and tired of chincy crap that causes more problems than it
solves." |
| S5-1510 |
"keep up the good work, and dont discontinue any
operations." |
| S5-1511 |
"The NIST services are very helpful to me, especially
WWV. For those maintaining the stations I receive your transmissions on a
Yaesu VX-5 handheld amateur transceiver or a Sony ICF 7600 receiver.
Excellent frequency choices for your transmitters. Due to your multiple
frequency options I am always able to receive a very readable signal from
you. Thank you and keep up the great work! " |
| S5-1512 |
A very useful service. Thank You |
| S5-1513 |
I have been using WWV for 38 years. |
| S5-1514 |
"On this survey form, it might be nice if you include
th URL's of each service in the appropriate section (you include the phone
number in the phone section). " |
| S5-1515 |
"According to your list of services above, I didn't
know all the useful applications it has.
I will investigate how these services can be helpful in my
business." |
| S5-1516 |
great web page |
| S5-1517 |
Can't you reprogram to speed up web site? |
| S5-1518 |
"All the time I have been using and listening to the
WWV radio broadcast, I have been generally pleased with the service. I
also like the map that shows night and day on the time.gov site." |
| S5-1519 |
i am an engineer in an oceanographic standards lab and run
several intranets. In the past correlating data and time stamping files
was a pain. With your service every computer i use is within a 2 second
range. many of my comps are on secure network so i can't use software
directly on all. I deal with well over 300PCs and your time software has
made my life a lot easier :) |
| S5-1520 |
Your services are excellent |
| S5-1521 |
see notes above |
| S5-1522 |
Good services -- keep it up! |
| S5-1523 |
I am grateful for your service.
I am accustomed to giving out atomic clocks as gifts to friends and
relatives to introduce them to your wonderful service.
I myself am equipped ewith arrays of atomic clocks and appliances
with clocks throughout the house and would be lost without your service.
Thank you. |
| S5-1524 |
"This survey was somewhat confussing butI answered
what I thought pertained to me,...but I would suggest employers to use
this to calibrate all clocks in their facility.
I'm currantly trying to have my employer use this service.
Also I'm unsure of what other services are avail. Thank you" |
| S5-1525 |
"I checked the primary use of the service, however, I
use the service for many of the lists uses, as 13 of the lists uses appy.
I believe the service is a very valuable." |

I think it is pretty cool. |
| S5-1531 |
As an Air Force ground radio technician I have observed the
wide use of WWV. |
| S5-1532 |
"I got started using wwv while in the Navy during the
Korean War so the ships chronometers were right and we did it everyday and
it was a quartermasters duty , just some triva" |
| S5-1533 |
"Currently, I do not have an amateur radio station on
the air, but hope to in the near future. The time and frequency
information is very helpful for amateur radio operations. Many thanks.
" |
| S5-1534 |
I love
www.time.gov and think it is a great use of my tax
dollars. This suvery
is very confusing - sorry. |
| S5-1535 |
"After using WWV, in the HF band, for 20 years in the
Navy, I have come to depend on it as the only source for exact time that
is available. " |
| S5-1536 |
Very user friendly web site! |
| S5-1537 |
I like this service. Keep
up the good work. |
| S5-1538 |
I reference the web page for leap second information. Thank
you for making the data available. |
| S5-1539 |
Thank you. I enjoy knowing the exact time. |
| S5-1540 |
"I have used wwv for the last 35 years to check
propogation, set my watch, and check my frequency standard. It has even
been used as a reliable signal source for testing radio receivers. Keep up
the good work. cheers, Lawrence Glaister VE7IT" |
| S5-1541 |
I like my Radio Shack clock using WWVB. When and how will
you publish survey results? WWV fan since 1950. Occasional Spanish SSB QRM
on 10 MHz. |
| S5-1542 |
I still use mechanical timepieces (hobby of collecting) and
use this service to adjust same |
| S5-1543 |
"Please keep WWV and WWVH on the air as it is very
important to my work and to amateur radio.
The information, time and frequency standards are very important to
me and my business. Thank you very much and appreciate being able to take
this survey --- Best Regards (73)--- Ernie Swanson" |
| S5-1544 |
Excellent Service! |
| S5-1545 |
you
need to make the survey easier.for old people |
| S5-1546 |
Your present service is just fine for my use for amateur
radio and computer operations. |
| S5-1547 |
Your present service is just fine for my use for amateur

Please do not reduce or eliminate WWV!!! |
| S5-1550 |
I like the service and it is easy to get computer click to
coincide with your display. |
| S5-1551 |
"As a 30 yr retired Naval Officer, I find the service
WWV provides to be irreplaceable (which is why (like the BBC World
Service) it will ultimately be discontinued... (thats fatalism)" |
| S5-1552 |
In taking this survey I was surprised to find that much
more is available than what I currently use. Keep up the good work! |
| S5-1553 |
I like the second count makes the setting of my watch easy |
| S5-1554 |
"In all the years I have operated USAF MARS you have
always been there for us. We
use your signal for calibration and conformance to USAF standards. The introduction of the Internet, Satellite and GPS does
not diminish the requirement for HF operations. As a single thread
communications link, HF will be the system by which the message gets
through if all the other systems, for whatever reason, should fail." |
| S5-1555 |
Most useful. Hope to extend use to other services as well. |
| S5-1556 |
time.gov rocks! |
| S5-1557 |
I have relied on WWV transmissions for time and frequency
calibration for more than fifty years. |
| S5-1558 |
"Very nice web site, easy to use." |
| S5-1559 |
"When WWVH is louder than WWV, the 20Mtr amateur band
is usually hot into Asia." |
| S5-1560 |
"I would like to see the service continue as I have
been listening to the time signal since 1952 when I first became
interested in short wave radio. It
has become an """"institution""""
that I hope will continue. The signal on 15Mhz is the most consistant." |
| S5-1561 |
"I time occultations and solar eclipses with video
equipment. Although my home
is in MD, I observe frequently from neighboring states and from CA, and
sometimes from foreign countries, especially for solar eclipses, few of
which occur in North America during the next several years." |
| S5-1562 |
"Our organization has a membership of about 350, but
we work with local astronomy clubs around the world where we reach about
10 times the number of our formal membership for important local events.
Observers in Japan, Australia, and New Zealand use WWVH, while those in
Latin America often use WWV. Japan
recently discontinued their shortwave time signals so WWVH is more
important for observers there." |
| S5-1563 |
Thank you |
| S5-1564 |
"I enjoy recieving your services, I actually sometimes
use the repitisios ticks and tones to ease myself theraputically. Keep up
the great work!" |
| S5-1565 |
"Thankyou for a very useful service. As I frequently
refer to WWVH for frequency reference functions as well as time reference
/drift work, I found it difficult to tick only one box in the
""""Uses"""" sections above. I
hope this does not invalidate the response.
Thanks for a great service - I've had a frequency preset on my HF
transceiver for 11 years, and a dipole for your 10MHz transmissions on the
mast here for several. -Best

"In field operations and sailing, there are no
telephones or internet connections. Stopping
the HF service would be a
dangerous to sailors. Time
hacks, propogation and GPS
info is valuable both for sailing
and for HF communications. " |

Keep the System........... |
| S5-1572 |
Great Service! I use it both at work (satellite station for
resources satellite) and at home. |
| S5-1573 |
Very important to continue WWV broadcast service as this is
the only method of standard frequency calibration available to me! |
| S5-1574 |
Excellent service. |
| S5-1575 |
"Under applications, I could check most boxes, since
ham needs are time/freq/solar/maritime and astonomy related (precise time
synch for satellites) We love your service- hope it doesn't get
reduced!" |
| S5-1576 |
"Perpetuation of the WWV High Frequency radio
transmissions is extremely important to the Land Surveying, Civil
Engineering, and Mapping professions as this is the standard method of
obtaining and calibrating time when performing astronomical observations
for map, survey, and state plane coordinate system grid orientation to
true north." |
| S5-1577 |
"I've been utilizing WWV for time and frequency
settings for 46 years!(mainly 5, 10, 15 Mhz)" |

WWV/WWVH is a great resource and it would be terrible to
see it go away. |

Please keep WWV |
| S5-1584 |
A vital government service |
| S5-1585 |
I would prefer using direct receiption of time rather than
SNTP across the internet. When
my internet connection is down WWV is all that is left. |
| S5-1586 |
"Please keep WWV on the air, as it is vital for
frequency and time measurements." |
| S5-1587 |
WWV is the most reliable service than any other. Our CHU is
not always there. |
| S5-1588 |
WWV is not merely a time standard but a frequency standard
as well--I use it to make sure my HF radio transmit frequency complies
with FCC rules. |
| S5-1589 |
Hope this is just no more service that will NOT be replaced
by down sizing. I have no other way of abtaining the service. |
| S5-1590 |
"Please keep the HF transmissions going, they are
extremely use for Amateur Radio testing, calibration, and geo
information." |

I am retired master navigator who found your time hacks via
shortwave useful while deployed overseas |
| S5-1592 |
I wish I had known of this site when I was teaching school. |
| S5-1593 |
I have use your service through short wave or computer
since the 1960's. My watch and clocks have always had the correct time.
Thank You |
| S5-1594 |
"Please keep the WWV operating, We need this
system!!!!! accuracy and time are inportant in weather spotting reports
for NOAA weather (SKYWARN)" |
| S5-1595 |
"Even though I use the frequencies for
transmitter/receiver/frequency counter calibration on over the air
reception, the reception of these signals enhance the accuracy of my
equipment when performing my tasks as an Official Observer with the
American Radio Relay League." |
| S5-1596 |
WWV
is used to calibrated my ham radio. To syncronize my clocks. Used as a
propagation indicator. |
| S5-1597 |
I greatly value having WWV available! Please keep the great
service that you provide! |

Radio reception from Puerto Rico (where I'm writing this)
is way too difficult. I'd love to have alternatives other than a web clock
sync utility. |
| S5-1623 |
"I have never been able to receive the 2.5 or 20MHz
broadcasts, and al I use the other 3 freqs for is occasional watch/clock
settings and to check propogation across the spectrum. 5MHz is usually
fairly weak, but 10 and 15 are almost always very strong, even with a bad
receiver and a few inches of wire for an antenna. WWV comes in very
strong, and I can usually hear WWVH but a bit weaker, WWV is almost always
the stronger signal. " |
| S5-1624 |
Almost every amateur I have spoken to about emf has said it
would be very helpful in figuring out band conditions |
| S5-1625 |
"It would be so nice if the front page gave me the
time directly. Just UTC would be nice, because usually I only need to
adjust a clock. Or show the time for the major US time zones. Your
homepage is really heavy on graphics, with a lot of download time, and
then you have to move the cursor to your region, click it, and then wait
again for the actual time. Such a shame, it's a really useful service -
why do you make it so hard to get to it?

"I've used WWV & WWVH since I was a kid, when I
was a radio opr in the USN & in my ham radio hobby, as well as at work
in educational media. And my office clock is sync'd to WWVB. It's a

I believe that it is important to continue to broadcast on
WWV in spite of the rise of the information-distributing capabilities of
the net. Broadcasting on
multiple frequencies provides important redundancy that is not possible in
only a networked environment. |

Your WWV is great for the casual person who wants to set
clocks correctly. There is no other reliable source for getting good time
information. Even the weather channel gets sloppy with the clock setting
so you guys are the best... I only use a cheap Radio Shack Time/Weather

Propagation of computers and their 10 MHZ chrystal clocks
make the radir environment much more noisy than 10 years ago. Reception of
WWV/WWVH is now almost always restricted to night time hours due to local
radio background noise. You could increase power output 10X co compensate
for the increased radio background which has come with the computerization
of society. <N/M> |
