S2-0003 | none |
S2-0004 | qrm especially 10 mhz |
S2-0005 | more on the geo and radio |
S2-0006 | WWVB is pretty good ... it doesn't really need much improvement but keeping it at full power would be nice for users further away |
S2-0007 | Perhaps an eastern US transmitter would give us better reception? |
S2-0008 | wwvb--extend to reliable coverage of east coast USA |
S2-0009 | no improvement |
S2-0010 | coverage |
S2-0011 | "Solar information is very valuable, as well as propagation checks." |

S2-0084 | "WWVB Now that WWVB clocks are more common on the retail market, reception relaibility is more of an issue. I now have (4)WWVB clocks, and gnereally only one or two will be """"in-sync"""" with WWVB. I assume it is just a reception problem." |
S2-0085 | everything works great! Don't change a thing! |
S2-0086 | Improve reception reliability on 20 MHz |
S2-0087 | WWVB coverage |

S2-0095 | Limited use for educational purposes. No immediate improvements foreseen. |
S2-0096 | Voice reception over the ticks. |
S2-0097 | "Please finish fixing the antennas on WWVB. I have had to move all my atomic clocks to make them receive you at least 50% of the time and before, they *always* worked!" |
S2-0098 | "I would say that everything's pretty much OK now, if you can just maintain the status quo." |
S2-0099 | "None, Doesn't need much changing." |
S2-0100 | Some days coverage is very weak and CHU provides better signal. Most of the time the WWV is very readable. |
S2-0101 | clearer transmission of bulletins; sometimes the announcer is overmodulated and distorted |
S2-0102 | Strength of signal. It drifts off at the top of the time signal in my area. |
S2-0103 | I am happy with all of them. |
S2-0104 | Your service is just fine as it is. |
S2-0105 | reception reliability |
S2-0106 | Happy with all aspects of service as it presently exists |
S2-0107 | "Some frequencies are unusable due to propagation. At this time of the cycle, 25 MHz needs to be re-activated." |
S2-0108 | No problems here. |
S2-0109 | Very happy with existing services. The Internet service would be more flexible if there was more extensive firewall support. |
S2-0110 | "I have clocks that use WWVB to update time. Even with the higher WWVB power level, the reliability at only 500 miles distance isn't great for clocks in a noisy environment like an office building." |
S2-0111 | 2.5 MHz needs a big increase in power |
S2-0112 | 2.5 MHz needs a big increase in power |
S2-0113 | Service is good now.....Can't think of anything you need to do to improve it... |
S2-0114 | "WWVB coverage, especially in the eastern and upper midwest of US. As more automatic uses of WWVB become commonplace, the coverage issue will have more importance." |
S2-0115 | all I use are very reliable |
S2-0116 | all I use are very reliable |
S2-0117 | 60 KHZ is tough to get a good signal underground on the east coast. NY State for auto clock update. |
S2-0118 | "doing fine on shortwave coverage, nothing needed" |
S2-0119 | I have no problems with the service as is |
S2-0120 | WWVB for automatic setting of clock is marginal. Any RF noise will cause the clocks to not sync for days. |
S2-0121 | "As we are so far from WWV, send a bit of the WWVH signal to the East! The pattern favoring out to the West is excellent, but maybe you could mess it up bit so some more signal comes West." |
S2-0122 | HF Services are excellent. Please don't change a thing! |
S2-0123 | like it and find it useful just as it is |
S2-0124 | The service is fine -- and has been for years! |

S2-0130 | Service is wonderful |
S2-0131 | 20mc is very poorly rcvd here. |
S2-0132 | It is hard to find the time service on the web. Make it a front page link item for goodness sakes from www.nist.gov. The web page seems awful slow. |
S2-0133 | More information about the geo indices would be appreciated |
S2-0134 | I feel a East Coast Transmitter site would also be advantageous. Maybe we the VOA site used to be in Bethany OHIO. |
S2-0135 | "I have clocks that use WWVB to update time. Even with the higher WWVB power level, the reliability at only 500 miles distance isn't great for clocks in a noisy environment like an office building." |
S2-0136 | I find the services of WWV very useful for audible time source and marker frequency for maintaining operating freqnency of HF transceivers. No improvements or changes desired!!! |
S2-0137 | "Glad to have WWVB back up to full power. Could not receive in 60657/Chicago, IL on one of my two clocks when you were on partial power (god bless radio shack)." |

S2-0154 | no suggestions on this. |
S2-0155 | None |
S2-0156 | stronger signal |
S2-0157 | The weather voice might be much morer useable if the readers voice was trained in hi-noise HF communications. Most people don't use it because it is so poorly read. |
S2-0158 | don't know |
S2-0159 | "WWVB 60kHz needs higher field strength, regional repeaters? A new VLF service on a carrier that is not harmonically related to 60 Hz power line and the high RFI that is generated by power line driven appliances should be adopted. " |
S2-0160 | None - Serves my amateur radio purposes perfectly. |
S2-0161 | stronger signal from WWVB on east coast |
S2-0162 | AM/SSB audio service from WWV Boulder needs more power or better antenna pattern coverage |
S2-0163 | Better Coverage especially during daylight hours. |
S2-0164 | Generally pretty satisfied with information provided - Propagation (frequency for reception) biggest problem...sometimes have to hunt for the signal. |
S2-0165 | Better publication of range of services and subsequent enhancements. |
S2-0166 | "None, thanks for the great service I've enjoyed over the years" |
S2-0167 | Reactivate WWV 25 MHz and WWVH 20 MHz. Excelent propagation monitor during solar peaks. |
S2-0168 | 10 MHz reception |

S2-0172 | N/A |
S2-0173 | Atomic clocks have very hard time tracking weak signal. |
S2-0174 | Expanding coverage and signal strength at 60kHz |
S2-0175 | For my purposes the service is fine as is. |
S2-0176 | winter night time reception is sometimes difficult with 2.5 the only option or wwvh. |
S2-0177 | on air reception for Ham radio |
S2-0178 | 10 Mhz Output for equipment calibration...more coverage would be nice |
S2-0179 | "Looking at your survey, I need education as to what is available!" |
S2-0180 | "never tried the internet or phone services,, more toward teaching average public of services" |
S2-0181 | Improved coverage of 10 MHz. Unfortunately this means higher power. |
S2-0182 | Work on improving radio coverage for an area to include at least two bands on a simple shortwave radio for the entire USA. |
S2-0183 | WWV skywave elevation angles on HF should be increased to provide higher angle(NVIS)/ closer coverage to FT. Collins. |
S2-0184 | "shortwave reception at 5, 10, 15, 20mhz for Arizona. " |
S2-0185 | I would like to see the time of day broadcast service continue. It is useful for gauging propagation as well as being the time standard. |

S2-0187 | Radio audio reception power |
S2-0188 | "WWV and WWVH: Repeat the Solar Flux, A and K index and Geomagnetic information more often" |
S2-0189 | None I receive broadcasts very well here in Central Florida |
S2-0190 | Better reception on all bands |
S2-0191 | I recently purchased a clock made to receive the 60khz signal from WWVB. It was over a week before it received the signal. I acknowledge it was not an expensive device and that I am a long way from Colorado (here in Central Massachusetts). |
S2-0192 | "in Las Vegas, Nv my wwvb clock misses once per day reception at least twice per week." |
S2-0193 | |
S2-0194 | "Sunspot, A & K indices more frequently than 1/hour" |
S2-0195 | More GEO broadcasts would be a good thing. |
S2-0196 | Keep Geo alerts. Very valuable. |
S2-0197 | I think WWV is excellent as is. |
S2-0198 | "ACTS has never worked for me. when I try to set the time, I receive an error that says that there is no server selected, even though I have one selected" |
S2-0199 | "WWV and WWVH: Broadcast solar flux, A and K index and geomagnetic information every 10 minutes" |
S2-0200 | none |
S2-0201 | geomagnetic indices reported more than once an hour |
S2-0202 | Perhaps better coverage. It may also be that I need to improve my antenna |
S2-0203 | Better coverage and more power on the WWVB signal. Way more power. |
S2-0204 | Sometimes the voice announcements on WWV seem very poorly edited and do not fit the time slots allocated. A message will be cut off because it runs too long. |
S2-0205 | works fine for me as is. |
S2-0206 | wwvb coverage |
S2-0207 | Reliable reception of NIST signals from station WWV at all times of the day. |
S2-0208 | coverage |
S2-0209 | Maybe propagation information included along with the GEO alerts. |
S2-0210 | "In my location, I have never (to the best of my memory), failed to get the time service I needed via HF radio. Also our clocks that automatically track the time """"radio controlled"""" have no problems syncing into the system. Portland, OR area. " |
S2-0211 | Realiable availability of WWVB on the whole US territory |
S2-0212 | I don't really feel there is any need for improvement to the services I access. |
S2-0213 | Present service suits my needs. |
S2-0214 | The 10 MHz WWV frequency oftern has interference fromSpanish speaking ststions. The State Dept and the FCC need to get involved |
S2-0215 | none |
S2-0216 | None - already excellent |
S2-0217 | I am satisfied |
S2-0218 | "More info on WWV such as flare class, coronal mass ejections, and MUF (maximum usable frequency)." |
S2-0219 | The first tick of the hour needs to be more destinctive. |
S2-0220 | More detailed info on WWV concerning the class of solar flares and coronal mass ejections and whether they are headed toward the earth. MUF info would be helpful. Any digitized voice should be of the highest quality - don't skimp! |
S2-0221 | n/a |
S2-0222 | I would like to see the solar index report given more often. |
S2-0223 | |
S2-0224 | n/a |
S2-0225 | With the choice of frequencies available it is reliable as is. |
S2-0226 | I would like to see the solar index report given more often. |
S2-0227 | I would like to see the solar index report given more often. |
S2-0228 | More info on the class of flares and coronal mass ejections and whether they are headed toward earth. |
S2-0229 | "None Happy with as is, generally use only shortwave to access, can generally access one or more frequencies at any time. Seldom use the internet but it is available." |
S2-0230 | web |
S2-0231 | None |
S2-0232 | "WWVB Power and antenna for nationwide coverage needs improvement, but is better than before" |
S2-0233 | "None, I strongly believe that WWV is doing a great job! Please do not cut back on current service." |
S2-0234 | none - keep up the standard |
S2-0235 | Just keep up the fine work for now. |
S2-0236 | "WWVH radio reception reliability/coveragfe area in case WWV is in bad propagation, or down" |
S2-0237 | "General keeping up with technology, and keeping service releiable and accessible." |
S2-0238 | works good as is for me |
S2-0239 | increased frequency of geo alerts |
S2-0240 | n/a |
S2-0241 | more frequent geo alert announcement. |
S2-0242 | Adequate for my needs as is. |
S2-0243 | more-regular ID of location of HF transmitters |
S2-0244 | We use time/interval and time of day at many different locations/buildings on three campuses so we like to use the WWVB time information for our clocks. Telephones and web accessable computers are not at each instrument's location. |
S2-0245 | Status Quo is good. |
S2-0246 | More frequent solar indicies reports |
S2-0247 | signal strength coverage |
S2-0248 | none |
S2-0249 | Audio level for Solar activity/Magnetic field activity from WWVH are much lower than WWV. This makes copy difficult under marginal signal levels |
S2-0250 | "None, I think service is excellent!" |
S2-0251 | Fine the way it is. |
S2-0252 | perhaps another station for greater and more reliable reception |

S2-0258 | It is good as it is! |
S2-0259 | It's not broken...don't fix it!! |
S2-0260 | 10 mHz voice quality is sometimes difficult to pickup |
S2-0261 | Time zones other than just the U.S. |
S2-0262 | BRING BACK 25 MHZ |
S2-0263 | wwvb coverage |
S2-0264 | WWV HF fading. |
S2-0265 | I would like to see an increase in the output power of the station in general. |
S2-0266 | We are in Seattle at the fringe of WWVB coverage. Thus we would like improved WWVB signal strength. |
S2-0267 | "wwvb, wwv" |
S2-0268 | "Coverage and reception quality of broadcast services. While recption is generally adequate on at least one frequency at my location, better reception on 2 or more would enhance reliability." |
S2-0269 | I really appreciate the WWV radio service for more than 30 years now |
S2-0270 | no suggestions |
S2-0271 | None - Very satisfied |
S2-0272 | Keep on doin' whatcha been doin' for the past half century. |
S2-0273 | I've been very pleased with the current NIST Time and Frequency services and see no need for any significant improvements. |
S2-0274 | None |
S2-0275 | Reception Reliability: Certain times of day both WWV and WWVH are very difficult to receive. |
S2-0276 | "Not so much improvement, but keep the services from going away. They are good and should be kept!" |
S2-0277 | WWVH would be improved by a signal at 20 mHz. |
S2-0278 | Better signal coverage in Ohio on 10 mhz for frequency standard calibrations |
S2-0279 | "SFI, A and K index reports 4 times an hour would be nice." |

S2-0281 | none |
S2-0282 | More power on WWVH |
S2-0283 | a clearer voice |
S2-0284 | better coverage area |
S2-0285 | mostly none... but bigger antennas would improve reception in geo storms |
S2-0286 | I'm satisfied with the service as-is. |
S2-0287 | "More lines should be added to the telephone service, so that you don't get cut off after 90 seconds. Other than that it is perfect. Please keep the phone calls free if possible. They are indispensable." |
S2-0288 | WWV coverage |
S2-0289 | Some information could be repeated more than once an hour - in order not to have to wait an hour for the next update. |
S2-0290 | WWV has always done a great job. |
S2-0291 | stability and coverage |
S2-0292 | None |
S2-0293 | I'm happy with the service as is. |
S2-0294 | "I'm happy with things as they are. At least one of the services (the frequency standard), which is essential for keeping my amateur radio transmitter calibrated, is not available to me in any way other than WWV/WWVH." |
S2-0295 | "all OK so Far, Reception sometimes bad" |
S2-0296 | None |
S2-0297 | "The service meets my needs as is, except for reception issues." |
S2-0298 | reception |
S2-0299 | fine |
S2-0300 | The 2.5 MHz is the noisiest portion of the HF spectrum and not too many people have antennas that can pick WWV\WWVH well on 2.5 MHz. Perhaps either increase the power or drop that frequency coverage. |
S2-0301 | "broadcast the propagation data (solar flux, etc) more frequently than once per hour , ie: every 15 minutes would be great !" |
S2-0302 | "Improve reception reliability of HF stations on the West Coast USA. Add 25MHz and boost power on 2.5MHz, 5.0 MHz. Thanks" |
S2-0303 | I would like to see the solar index report given more often. |
S2-0304 | Increase effective radiated power for WWV. |
S2-0305 | Current services satisfy my needs |
S2-0306 | Increase power on 10 mHz. by 6 dB. Drop 20 Mhz. station |
S2-0307 | "A stronger signal would be nice especially WWVH. Also it would be nice to have the weather, Geo alerts, and Gps status, broadcast 2 or 3 tmes per hour instead of just one time. " |
S2-0308 | "WWVH needs to operate at 20Mhz. How come the 20Mhz antenna was terminated and operation closed? I can hear WWV on 20Mhz during the day, not at night. Why? When TDY in Seattle, WWV was weak reception, Why? " |
S2-0309 | STABILITY |
S2-0310 | The services I use seem to work fine. |
S2-0311 | "Actually, your current services fully meet my needs as a private user." |
S2-0312 | ADD back 25 Mhz service. |
S2-0313 | Power increase on 2.5 MHz. for better Eastern U.S. coverage. More tropical weather bulletins from the National Hurricane Center. |
S2-0314 | none |
S2-0315 | Better coverage to the NE US. |
S2-0316 | most part not much I beilve on HF more power certain area it harder to pick up |
S2-0317 | "GEO Alerts could be transmitted more frequently, possibly 2 or 3 times per hour." |
S2-0318 | "none, very satisified." |
S2-0319 | I find the time services to be of great help. |
S2-0320 | I find that reception in the Central Ohio area is weak depending on atmospheric conditions. The 10Mhz time signals are currently the most reliable. Either additional power or antenna configuration could improve signals. |
S2-0321 | WWVB - more power or something to make coverage more reliable |
S2-0322 | OK as is. Will leave this to the engineers |
S2-0323 | I'm satisfied with the current service - I wouldn't want to see a decrease in quality. |
S2-0324 | Rid the frequencies of illegal SSB operators. |
S2-0325 | "We are generally pleased with service, features and accuracy." |
S2-0326 | Civerage |
S2-0327 | add more hourly geo reports |
S2-0328 | "reception reliability, but that is usually beyond our control - you can't control the ionosphere!" |
S2-0329 | "if is not broke, don't fix it." |
S2-0330 | need more WWVB to synchronize my Rubidium to.. |
S2-0331 | coverage or reception reliability (same in my opinion) |
S2-0332 | I'm very satisfied with the service |
S2-0333 | "The internet time service is nice, but I have only been able to get it to work on Win95, and not through firewalls. When using it on Win98 it sets the clock to the wrong time, date and year" |
S2-0334 | "would like to see more frequent geophysical announcements ( A, K , Planetray indexes) rather than once an hour. HF radio propagation forcast would be very useful. " |
S2-0335 | WWVB coverage in the Northeastern US. Also add checksum or parity bits to signal. |
S2-0336 | Go back to human voice transmission. |
S2-0337 | Greater reception reliability on the medium wave bands would improve service. |
S2-0338 | Geo alerts more often |
S2-0339 | TO LET US KNOW WHIN WWV IS GOING TO BE OFF THE AIR ON 2.5 5 10 AND 15 KHZ AND HOW LONG THEY WILL BE OFF THE AIR |
S2-0340 | "More reliable 5, 10, 15 mhz reception on east coast." |
S2-0341 | More often GEO conditions/alerts |
S2-0342 | WWVH needs a more powerful transmitter |
S2-0343 | "My WWV broadcast receiver will sometimes not pick up your voice signal in OKC,OK." |
S2-0344 | None |
S2-0345 | Just the reception. |
S2-0346 | "Night reception in Southern CA is not reliable, and generally similar in Northern CA" |
S2-0347 | all is okay as is... |
S2-0348 | "WWV coverage in the """"skip zone"""" 80-120 miles from the WWV transmitter." |
S2-0349 | None at all |
S2-0350 | Higher power transmitter |
S2-0351 | "Stability, but we get that with gps reference." |
S2-0352 | WWV coverage in the midwest needs improvement |
S2-0353 | WWV-Reception proved unreliable in the eastern Pacific near lattitude 15N to 7N |
S2-0354 | improvement in signal strength |
S2-0355 | Automated updating clocks using WWVB service is on the increase. It is a wonderful service. The only problem is availability and reliability of signals. |
S2-0356 | Geo alerts do not seem to reflect the present propagation conditions on the HF bands. |
S2-0357 | better signal strength on 5 10 and 15 Mhz |
S2-0358 | More detailed geo alert data |
S2-0359 | keep it like it is now |
S2-0360 | none |
S2-0361 | More than adequate for my usage |
S2-0362 | More coverage. |
S2-0363 | "Coverage, anything that will improve the service." |
S2-0364 | "The present service is very good. Perhaps better signal on 10Mhz, although most of my problems are usually related to propagation issues. " |
S2-0365 | Could 25 MHz transmissions be brought back? |
S2-0366 | Coverage Area is spoaradic |
S2-0367 | "Considering that both WWV and WWVH are in the western United States, NOW, a third transmitter should be added for continual coverage in the eastern United States. Often, I have to try to find CHU, when I cannot receive WWV or WWVH." |
S2-0368 | "None, I don't think improvement is needed." |
S2-0369 | The ability to receive a signal in remote places could use some improvement |
S2-0370 | WWVB |
S2-0371 | "I have an Oregon Scientific WWVB receiver clock, and it works ok, but I can't suggest a coverage improvement without knowing where your repeaters/transmitters in the East are. I live in Alabama." |
S2-0372 | I am happy with current services |
S2-0373 | currently suits my applications |
S2-0374 | "Stronger signals from WWV on 5, 10 and 15 MHz. My most reliable freq (day & night) is 10. If it was stronger, I would not need the others. Skip conditions make 5 unusable days; 15 poor nights. I'm in San Jose, California. " |
S2-0375 | "I know you raised the power of WWVB, but it still has trouble with the high noise floor in Los Angeles." |
S2-0376 | More often solar updates |
S2-0377 | "For my use in frequency checkes on transceiver, present services are satisfactory" |
S2-0378 | Im very satisfied |
S2-0379 | The services I use are very good and work fine for me. I can't think of any pressing improvements that need to be done. |
S2-0380 | none |
S2-0381 | "Voice announcements are not always intelligble, even though they are repeated. Maybe the summary reports could be read using phonetics and/or counted out (e.g. """"K= three; one-two-three""""). " |
S2-0382 | WWVB erp needs boosted to better cover SE US and Alaska time zone. |
S2-0383 | "from my perspective, you're doing great! don't change anything" |
S2-0384 | "As stated above, coverage area for your lower frequencies (2.5, 5 Mhz)." |
S2-0385 | coverage |
S2-0386 | "Frankly, none" |
S2-0387 | Increase the daytime power of the 10 MHZ station to provice better reception in the EASTERN USA. |
S2-0388 | I feel your services are very satisfactory |
S2-0389 | "It is probably impossible on a packet switched network such as the public internet, but the time delay introduced by the network affects the accuracy of the received time of day on the internet." |
S2-0390 | "Would like to havre Geoalert info several times in an hour. If I miss 18 past the hour, I have to wait another hour." |
S2-0391 | Perhaps a higher power-output of radio stations. |
S2-0392 | None |
S2-0393 | WWV broadcasts could use more power sometimes. In early morning in N. Wisconsin I found signals very weak once. I understood from others local to the area that this was not uncommon. |
S2-0394 | Shortwave and WWVB need a bit more power |
S2-0395 | "Announcement of solar flux, """"A"""" and """"K"""" index values more than once per hour." |
S2-0396 | Presently satisfctory for my needs |
S2-0397 | Stronger signal in up state New York |
S2-0398 | no comment |
S2-0399 | "Internet service isn't too reliable due to ISP and networking problems. Shortwave is there when I need it, especially when traveling and away from my computer." |
S2-0400 | "The WWV needs more stability,transmit power,improved coverage and reception." |
S2-0401 | "Generally a higher power level on 5, 10, 15 to increase reliable reception. " |

S2-0403 | Additional propagation information; SSN as well as SF |
S2-0404 | Improve the reception |
S2-0405 | reception |
S2-0406 | I use the WWV signal to set the time for a computer-guided telescope. Improved signal strength in Western Pennsylvania would be nice. I also use the signal for self-setting clocks at home and in the office. |
S2-0407 | "GEO Alerts, needs better coverage" |
S2-0408 | "gps,weather and propgation every 15 mins." |
S2-0409 | Please restore WWV broadcasts on 25 MHz as in the 1960s. |
S2-0410 | Eliminate foreign interference on 10 MHz. |

S2-0412 | Keep the WWV radio service and the Internet time service exactly the way they are. |
S2-0413 | availability of Internet Time Service -- too often I can't connect to it when I want to use it |
S2-0414 | Reduction of HF interferance by unauthorized stations on same fz. More subject to 10MHz fz. Many bcast stns have been noted on or very near this fz making it useless. Other interferance noted are ALE tx and 'tune' cycles by transmitters. |
S2-0415 | Increase Power or change footprint for E. Coast Improvement. |
S2-0416 | Coverage |
S2-0417 | "Sometimes the person reading the STI's doesn't have enough time for all the data & is cut off, with no chance of getting the missing data. Why not extend it to 19 min. past hour if necessary during high solar activity?? " |
S2-0418 | Coverage |
S2-0419 | You've done perhaps the best job any citizen can expect of his/her government ... don't stop |

S2-0431 | Reliable reception anywhere in the USA at any time of day or night. |
S2-0432 | None |
S2-0433 | none needed |
S2-0434 | Voice announcements of propagation often difficult to hear due to poor diction of speakers. |
S2-0435 | WWVB coverage area needs improvement. should be able to get it anywhere in US. |
S2-0436 | I'm using NISTIME. |
S2-0437 | Needs no improvement. It ain't broke;don't fix it. |
S2-0438 | Remove the phase shift at 10 min past the hour on WWVB. This confuses phase comparison monitoring. |
S2-0439 | more frequent (than 1 minute) voice notification |
S2-0440 | Signal strength |
S2-0441 | 2.5 and 5.0 are not often useful in Houston |

S2-0444 | "I am quite happy with the present service, it has always been quite good." |
S2-0445 | Daytime power/antenna at 10MHz |
S2-0446 | Would prefer solar/geomagnetic updates to be more frequent |
S2-0447 | "I am often VERY dependent on the hurricane report that comes at 8 minutes after the hour. Please consider repeating critical position information, and ensure the announcer enunciates clearly." |
S2-0448 | Would like to see global indices more than once per hour. |
S2-0449 | I find WWV service to be very satisfactory. |
S2-0450 | N/A |
S2-0451 | WWVB needs more power to use atomic clocks in a tin building |
S2-0452 | IN DEPTH GEO AND SOLAR INFORMATION . RADIO PROPAGATIONS UP TOO 144 MEGAHERTZ. |
S2-0453 | "None.....you do a great job, just keep doing it." |
S2-0454 | "If you offered me a free HP cesium beam time/freq standard in exchange for the RF broadcasts, I would turn you down. Keep the RF broadcasts. They are the ultimate portable freq reference. " |
S2-0455 | Additional power for the 2.5mHz and 20mHz services to the ConUS |
S2-0456 | Even more power on 60khz wwvb would be great. |
S2-0457 | You are doing an EXCELLENT job as is. I use you for my SWL and Amateur Radio hobbies. |
S2-0458 | OK as is. |
S2-0459 | A modulated CW time broadcast would improve reception during periods of marginal propagation. |
S2-0460 | "The WWVB 60khz signal needs to be stronger, so my WWVB clock can receive the low freq signal indoors." |
S2-0461 | Perfectly OK as is. Find no fault at all. |
S2-0462 | NONE |
S2-0463 | None. |
S2-0464 | I sometimes miss the 25Mc signal. |
