"I've used WWV since I first
became interested in radio (1976), and have become to rely on this service
for many years now. Keep up the good work !!" |
| S5-2501 |
I use your services for work and Amateur Radio. I certainly hope you do not suspend operations on VLF/MF or
HF. I still miss 25 Mc. WWV
broadcasts. I wish the questionaire would have let us check off all the
areas in which we use your services. Please...keep up the good work! |

"As an Amateur Radio operator I really appreciate your service for
timekeeping, frequency calibration, and helping with shortwave propagation
and conditions. Your shortwave signals provide us with much more than what
time it is. You help us keep our equipment in in working order and help us derive the best frequency
ranges to be able to work other Amateur Radio operators if in the need of
an emergency or disaster. Thank you." |
| S5-2503 |
Great resource. Keep up the
great work! |
| S5-2504 |
Nist
has provided some information about propagation bulletins and SF
measurements that were really helpful in understanding how the propagation
info was determined. I am a physicist by training and this was important
to me. |
| S5-2505 |
"It would be nice if the web page provided a function (script, java
or html?)to set ones computer's clock to the displayed time." |
| S5-2506 |
Frequency calibration is very useful both for receivers & setting
external oscillators by beating with your signal using a receiver. |
| S5-2507 |
Thank you for providing this service.
I use the Internet time servers to set my computer clock and WWV on
my shortwave radio to set my wristwatch.
I cross check between the two. |
| S5-2508 |
The NIST Time Service is very valuable. Thank you for your efforts! |

"I have used WWV as a time, fequency and info source since I was 14
yeasr old. (1959) I use the
frequency as a standard and aslo as a propogation indicator. I hear WWVH
in the background but do not use it a great deal. Ima an avid short wave
listener and also an amateur radio operator.
I am also an assistant director for Radio Amateurs of Canada." |

My brother just introduced me to this site. It's very helpful and I will probably use it more often; as
I learn it. |
| S5-2521 |
Please do not discontinue WWV service - I have used the 10 and 15 MHz
since the early 1970's for radio work at home and it is like a old
reliable friend! |
| S5-2522 |
"Please do not shut down the service as provided by WWV/WWVH/WWVB
we may not use all the services as provided by NIST.
But, it does help when you can call these systems up, when required. " |

"Currently use a Kenwood R300 receiver with a trapped horizontal
dipole antenna suspended about 25 ft off the ground in Pasadena, CA.
Usually reception is adequate on one of the available frequencies.
Whether WWVH or WWV is the predominant signal on the selected
frequency depends upon reception conditions; often both IDs can be heard. Accuracy +/- one second is accurate for my purposes." |
| S5-2539 |
"As a radio amateur, I am dependent upon WWV for my tranceivers and
radio-related computer. As a homeowner, I use WWV exclusively for setting
all my clocks, especially for VCR and TV sets used for recording." |
| S5-2540 |
"Ididnt know you were on the net,will check out" |
| S5-2541 |
"While I just use it to set my clocks, especially those in my VCRs,
the service is really quite invaluable to me. I also have a clock that sets itself via radio.
I just wanted you to know I really appreciate the service.

| S5-2542 |
I have been a user of WWV and WWVH since 1980. I purchased a digital wall clock for WWVB in 1995 and have
always been facinated by the accuracy of the atomic clock.
It is amazing that so many people do not know of the atomic clock.
I am proud to have such a service available.
You did not mention Canada's CHU station on 7.335mhz which sounds
almost like WWV. Please do
not change a thing. Am very
satisfied with the service. Thank
you |
| S5-2543 |
This service is very useful to radio amateurs |

I've been a satisfied user of WWV for nearly 30 years.
Keep up the good work!! |
| S5-2547 |
Have been using services since becoming a Radio Officer in the Merchant
Marine in 1969. |
| S5-2548 |
I use the service for Amateur Radio and Boating but I often use WWV
& WWVH for timing astronomical events.
The radio service is invaluable to me and many others involved in
astronomy where a radio tuned to the time frquencies is the most available
source of accurate time. |
| S5-2549 |
Thanks for doing this service! |

Thank you for allowing us to participate |
| S5-2557 |
I use WWV to set UTC and local time clocks as well as calibrate
frequency counters and signal generators. This is for hobby and industrial
communications use. |
| S5-2558 |
I check multiple applications which are about equal to me.I think this
question should allow weighted answers with perhaps a number system of 1
to 5 or 10. |
| S5-2559 |
I find the service as it is most useful.
I have used the service of both WWV and WWVH in particular in my
work and in use with amateur radio and Civil Air Patrol communications. |
| S5-2560 |
WWV works. Need no other source of time and freq. |
| S5-2561 |
KEEP WWV Add a
mid-continent and Pacific transmitter too |
| S5-2562 |
"Also use WWV for Amatueur Radio, Propagation info, Astronomy and
Frequenct Calibration" |
| S5-2563 |
WWV radio time signals provide an important resource to astronomers for
timing critical events such as occultations. This data provides important
scientific information. I hope this service will be continued. |

Please continue with the marine weather and amateur radio propagation.
These are fine services worthy of taxpayer expense. |
| S5-2597 |
Thank you for the EXCELLENT service over the years |

Also use WWV for astronomical timings. |
| S5-2609 |
"I've used your shortwave broadcasts for almost 30 years to obtain
accurate time for setting the time on clocks, telephone and voice mail
systems, PCs, and servers. I
bought my girlfriend a clock that picks up WWVB, and plan on getting one
for myself. I use your
service daily, and find it invaluable.
Also very important to me is the mobility of your shortwave
broadcasts. I don't know
where else I'd go to get the accurate time that I need." |
| S5-2610 |
Great service. |
| S5-2611 |
"WWV and WWVH provide HF propagation indicators for my amateur
radio operating (I have been on amateur radio long enough to remember when
WWV was at Beltsville, MD, and I miss the 25 MHz transmitter)." |
| S5-2612 |
"WWV and WWVH are virtually an essential timing resource to amateur
astronomers who time events, as I do, using a tape recorder and radio time
signal. I can't think of
anything that would work as well in its place." |
| S5-2613 |
I think they should stay at their service. |
| S5-2614 |
"Answering survey because I heard this service might be
discontinued. That would
cause me great problems in my Astronomy usage, as I rely heavily on
accurate timings for celestial events.
I have specifically purchased an expensive clock radio receiver for
this purpose, and that clock would be useless to me, if your services are
discontinued." |
| S5-2615 |
Please ensure that the shortwave broadcasts continue.
The time signals are an invaluable service wherever I go. |
| S5-2616 |
"wwv is the only really accurate frequency standard I have
available to me. Modern radio equipment is very stable, but still needs
checking occasionally, particularly after repair or adjustment." |
| S5-2617 |
I hope you folks realize this is the only service like it anywhere in
the world. |
| S5-2618 |
"Cpomputer time is fine at home, but I need WWV when I'm on the
road making observations for IOTA or other astronomical research. Those
time signals are the best!" |
| S5-2619 |
It's important to be able to hear and record an audible tone.
Otherwise we could just use GPS. |

please don't shut it down. it is such a useful service...far more
valuable than any amount of money needed to keep it going. |
| S5-2624 |
"Now that we have a clock that receives WWVB, we use WWV and CHU
only occasionally to check its operation -- for convenience we keep it
near other electronic devices, and we generally find that it has updated

"Astronomers depend very heavily on being able to receive accurate
time signals via the shortwave frequencies (2.5, 5, 10, 15, and 20 MHz).
We often tape record events (occultations and the like) and depend
on the time signals on the tape to determine the time of the event." |
| S5-2628 |
For remote applications away from web access this is the only means to
gather proper time stamped astronomical observations. |
| S5-2629 |
Myinterest is obtaining time/positional fixes for artificial satellites
and lunar occultations |
| S5-2630 |
"I'm not the only person who listens to WWV because I like it.
Several other people I've run into listen to it for pleasure as
well as utility. As a
geologist, the concept of endless time is always on my mind; and listening
to WWV is a meaningful and sometimes powerful experience. --Clinton
Crowley, Arlington, Texas" |
| S5-2631 |
WWV Has always been a useful service I have been a Short Wave listener
and User since the 1950's some changes are necessary to accomidate
Computer time users etc. |
| S5-2632 |
"Japanese shortwave time signals JJY were shut down on March 31,
2001, and radio-controlled clocks or watches based on the longwave time
signals JJY are in use, but such clocks or watches are not accurate
(typically they have errors of about 0.2 seconds), so many Japanese
astronomers (both amateurs and professionals) are using WWV and WWVH to
get precise timings of astronomical events." |
| S5-2633 |
"while used infrequently (propogation makes radio access here in NZ
a challenge), wwv is a treasured service, a friend and marker on the radio
dial. (and p.s. survey was well done)" |
| S5-2634 |
Fantastic service. |
| S5-2635 |
Your service is vital for astronomical observations and I hope WWV stays
on the air. |
| S5-2636 |
"Our astronomy clubs meet with hundreds of school,
church and scout groups during a years time. The
correct timing of observed events is a very
important step in teaching astronomy. The ability
to hear and record correct time ticks from
remote locations is and will remaine a very usful
teaching tool. The future of our country lies in the quality of
education we provide for our chiuldren. The education field need
all the help it can get from everyone." |

Thank you very much for this great service! |
| S5-2647 |
WWV
shortwave time signals are the ONLY PRACTICAL WAY to monitor time during
occultions that require travel in the field. It is a must!!! |
| S5-2648 |
I wouldn't be able to time astronomy events without the NIST shortwave
broadcasts. Travel to a remote area requires the use of a portable radio. |

"I completed a survey several days ago. But I may not have
emphasized strongly enough how important the WWV time broascast is to
astronomical observations. Recording the WWV signal with video of the
astronomical event is currently the best way to document the time of an
event for later analysis. WWV
is an important part of my life! Jeff Madura, Naperville, IL Chicago
Astronomical Society, Naperville Astronomical Associaiton" |
| S5-2661 |
I scan WWV and CHU frequencies for best signal at the time of
observation. |
| S5-2662 |
But
CHU does not provide propagation or geomagentic activity levels. |
| S5-2663 |
I have written before how much I appreciate the service. Please do not
eliminate it. I suspect other methods of cost cutting could be
implemented...for instance new and less expensive equipment and more
automation. |
| S5-2664 |
WWV and services provided by NIST are of vital importance to all.
Keep up the good work. |
| S5-2665 |
Much of my need for this information occurs when I am in a situation
where I DO NOT HAVE INTERNET ACCESS.
Loss of the WWV signals would be a tremendous handicap. |
| S5-2666 |
I also work in the Electronics field and use the WWVB to calibrate
frequency counters. With TBC the television frequencies are useless! |
| S5-2667 |
All of NIST time services are very valualable and should be continued.
They are a vital part of the US
technology infrastructure |
| S5-2668 |
This is not a good place for budget cuts!!!! Radio! Keep up the

"Hi, I am greatly disappointed - but maybe you can easily solve the
problem - your website www.time.gov used to utilize JAVA animation, but
now whenever I go to it, I only get a 'time snapshot.' I liked the Java very much, e.g. for setting clocks &
watches. If I can somehow
change my 'user settings' at your site, it would be nice if this were
especially clearly indicated, because if I am having this problem,
probably a lot of people are having this problem.
Thank you!!!" |
| S5-2673 |
Please keep the WWV and the Website Time! |
| S5-2674 |
I am a station operator of a west coast Sandia Bolide Detection All-sky
camera and the time signals are used to check the accuracy of a time dat
stamp generator and to re-set it when not correct. Also use it for other
astronomical observations at my observatory.
WWV is the only time signal that I can receive more or less
reliably during the night on Vancouver Island.
The signal is not readable during daylight hours. |
| S5-2675 |
By
comparing my electric wall clock with WWV time I am able to watch time
errors of the electrical grid. During
the California power troubles this was interesting and alarming. |
| S5-2676 |
WWV
is very important in astronomy event observations. We use it to coordinate
detailed observations from many people separated by large distances. |
| S5-2677 |
could not complete the survey due to the choice blocks being misaligned
in screen (pathetically poor html.. get a better webmaster.. I really
wanted to do the survey) such that I could not tell which question they
went with (I'm using Microsoft IE V5.5). I use WWVB continuously for
frequency locking. I use WWV and WWVB as propagation indicators. Also use
the 18 minutes past the hour solar terestrial indices frequenctly. |
| S5-2678 |
I need a way to record astronomical timings using radio audio and human

" I
checked only one item according to instructions, but I do use the services
for several purposes!
THANK YOU for these services!" |
| S5-2684 |
We
would spend many hours per year simply setting and resetting time clocks
due to Daylight savings time as well as power outages. |
| S5-2685 |
It would be a heavy loss indeed if the scope of the frequencies used by
WWV/WWVH were reduced or lost. |
| S5-2686 |
WWV provides a vital service that allows the US military to test HF
receiving equipment worldwide. |
| S5-2687 |
"The rural areas where serious astronomical research is often
conducted by advanced amatures rarely offer alternatives to WWV in
coordinating observations with others around the country/world.
Many times, even cell phones are out of service areas." |
| S5-2688 |
please keep this service going. |
| S5-2689 |
I am 46 and have been using WWV/WWVH all my life. This is a national
asset that should be around forever... |
| S5-2690 |
In many locations where meteor observations take place These services
privide the only highly accurate time. This is necessary for accurate
scientific data. |

data to the Professional Astronomy community. |
| S5-2696 |
I consider NIST time services one of the more important government
services that I use. |
| S5-2697 |
WWV and WWVH are vital services for my overseas observing sites for
timing events where local time services are unreliable or nonexistent |
| S5-2698 |

"Thanks for maintaining the radio time. Some guys in the astronomy club rely on it for timing
occultations, apparently. We
have a satellite clock, but it blows out every now and then. ?" |
| S5-2739 |
"I use the various time of day sources primarily for astronomy
observations and to reset my quartz watch to within a second of corect
time. For the former, I use
shortwave radio when away from home.
For the latter, I use the Internet. " |
| S5-2740 |
Primary use of NIST time services is via radio. Used to manually set
time of local clocks/watches as well as clocks for use with shortwave/amateur
radio. Time services via radio are still more convenient than Internet
based time services. This survey neglected to ask about the use of the
propagation forecasts heard at :18 via WWV/WWVH. I listen to this forecast
frequently and I consider it important (2). |
| S5-2741 |
Please continue WWV services. |
| S5-2742 |
I think the time of day service is great. It is easy to access and I
enjoy seeing the world map depicting the daylight/nighttime division. |

amateur radio. In my youth,
when I could not pick up any other broadcasts I could always get WWV and
WWVH." |
| S5-2749 |
"Without WWV, how will astronomers in the field time important
transient and occultation events?" |
| S5-2750 |
We use WWV worldwide on a continuous basis for remote expeditions. Loss
of this time standard would be devastating. |
| S5-2751 |

observing time. |

"Appreciate the service very much, don't stop." |
| S5-2884 |
I think it is very important to keep an audio time source available to
the public for use in the absence of electronic equipment but to stay
current with much emphasis on electronic equipment needs. |
| S5-2885 |
WWV is a valuable source of accurate time from sites where the net or
electric power is unavailable. |
| S5-2886 |
Your services are sole sourced. No
others are used. Don't cut
back on anything. |
| S5-2887 |
Service as now active is tenerally good. |

"While, in terms of frequency, I use computer synchronization the
most, WWV is essential for other, manual uses and precision astronomical
observational timings, especially since its signal can be recorded on a
tape recorder along with a voiceover indicating the timing of an event.
WWV is, to me, your most important asset." |
| S5-2889 |
"Please keep WWV, WWVH, and WWVB ON THE AIR!! This provides the
most convenient, low cost time reference for amateur-professional
cooperative astronomy. Eliminating
SW broadcasts will result in greatly reduced ability to acquire precise
observational data in the field." |
| S5-2890 |
"WWV shortwave reception is essential for all remote-site astronomy
work which requires careful time calibration. Examples I use are lunar
occultations, lunar grazing occultations, asteroid occultations. Without
WWV / WWVH, I would have to curtail most of this activity. This would also
severely impact the course offerings at my college, as the scientific
research training this provides for students would be impossible." |
| S5-2891 |
Shortwave WWV time signals are the most reliable means of time stamping
occultation events of stars by planetary bodies that is most affordable to
IOTA's large base of amateur astronomers who do this scientific data
collection voluntarily. Most of this work is done in remote locations with
portable observing equipment. |

Thanks for keeping our clocks on time. We like our new atomic clocks
that set themselves. |
| S5-2893 |
"Please continue (or expand & improve) the WWV service.
It's a great help. Thanks.
I'm considering getting a WWVB-enabled wall clock, but I'm unsure
whether the reception would be reliable in my area." |
| S5-2894 |
All of our digital systems are sychronized to NIST and WWV services
including our Disaster Response resources and support systems for the
Canadian Red Cross. |

WWV/WWVH radio broadcasts are *very* important for my work! |
| S5-2896 |
WWV also used occasionally for astronomy (occultation timing) |
