| What present service do you feel needs improvement and�what type of improvement (i.e. stability, coverage, added features�)? | |
| S2-0500 | Punctuality and detail of Pacific weather. |
| S2-0501 | Web page would be nice for whole world... |
| S2-0502 | none |
| S2-0503 | Does the job for me as it is. |
| S2-0504 | Stronger signal strength on 2.5 and 20MHz Additional frequency coverage for 25MHz and 30MHz |
| S2-0505 | Your present services provide for my needs as an amateur scientist and radio operator. |
| S2-0506 | "more descriptive indices for geo alerts, for example aurora level indicator would be of use" |
| S2-0507 | "Additional power on all HF sites would be nice. Obviously, you must be using something close to an omni antenna to produce your coverage, so antenna technology probably wouldn't help your signal much." |
| S2-0508 | I would like to be able to receive WWV broadcast information more reliably rather than having to rely on the internet to provide my accurate time information. |
| S2-0509 | Keep the presentservice as is. |
| S2-0510 | "if possible, include live audio of WWV, WWVH and WWVB and all other time stations on the internet" |
| S2-0511 | Give WWV a stronger signal so that it cuts through the static. |
| S2-0512 | more public awareness |
| S2-0513 | radio propagation info |
| S2-0514 | "Service excellent. Only wish Solar Flux,A,K index report (Geo) reports were broadcast more than once and hour (+:18) Would like it 4 times if possible." |
| S2-0515 | I'd like to see WWVB have better response during atmospheric noise. Perhaps a simulcast central and eastern CONUS site? |
| S2-0516 | "I use WWV to keep my office's computer network on time, and to coordinate start times for car races. I also use it to set the frequencys on my HF radios. My Atomic watch listens to it. In general " |
| S2-0517 | consistent reception quality |
| S2-0518 | WWVB reception on the coasts |
| S2-0519 | Present services are needed and sufficient |
| S2-0520 | Better frequency coverage |
| S2-0521 | "As a Virginia resident, I'd be interested in better WWVB coverage/signal strength." |
| S2-0522 | WWVB daytime signal strength |
| S2-0523 | "I am about 40 miles from the transmitters so I never have reception problems but others I know across the US occasionally do. However, these problems are very rare and usually very short in length - in general, you're doing a GREAT job!" |
| S2-0524 | "The service works very well and is a model for the rest of the world. It would be nice to have better reception reliability and coverage; however, most of the problems are due to SW propagation which NIST has no control over." |
| S2-0525 | "I believe the NIST time service is a wonderful resource. Our needs are very limited (we need accurate time on all of our public PCs and workstations for time coding video and tracking compile time, etc.) but without the NIST we'd be rather lost." |
| S2-0526 | I don't think anything needs much improvement. We use broadcast WWV and WWVH to monitor propagation changes and it works well for us. |
| S2-0527 | "We are pleased with the present service. Lab calibration (frequency reference) checks are readily made to limited precision, but the limitations are due to propagation and lack of a secondary (phase-lockable?) standard here." |
| S2-0528 | WWVB coverage is marginal on the east coast |
| S2-0529 | Stability. Our greatest problem is failure to connect. |
| S2-0530 | Solar Activity Report / Propagation broadcasts more often than just once an hour. |
| S2-0531 | Added coverage area for WWVB |
| S2-0532 | "The only complaint I would have at all is regarding reception reliability of the 60 kHz signal, used as the standard for high-accuracy clocks around the house." |
| S2-0533 | Delays in internet signals make them sufficiently inaccurate that WWV is the primary source of accurate time. With more power the signal would be available more frequently and therefore more useful. |
| S2-0534 | None All Ok. Just keep WWV. |
| S2-0535 | Time standard signal needs to be re-introduced at 25 MHz. |
| S2-0536 | Coverage. |
| S2-0537 | shortwave service -- coverage |
| S2-0538 | "WWV and WWVB are sometimes very hard to receive on my portable SW radio. I live in L.A. but still there are times when none of the 5,10,15 or 20 MHz services can be received." |
| S2-0539 | coverage |
| S2-0540 | My WWVB clock must be near a window to receive adequate signal. More flexibility would be helpful. |
| S2-0541 | Stability and coverage are generally fairly good |
| S2-0542 | WWVH is hard to here but WWV is heard here in Montana fine. Thanks for ur service. |
| S2-0543 | More area coverage |
| S2-0544 | N/A |
| S2-0545 | More up to date/real-time geo-alerts |
| S2-0546 | "I primarily use the shortwave station WWV - I wish it had better coverage especially at higher frequencies. I can usually get 5 Mhz and sometimes 10 Mhz and 15 Mhz. I would prefer to listen on 10 Mhz and 15 Mhz more often, if propagation allows." |

| S2-0569 | No changes necessary |
| S2-0570 | none |
| S2-0571 | More power on the shortwave services. |
| S2-0572 | It would be helpful to have propagation numbers and forecasts updated more frequently. Sometimes they are a day old when received. |
| S2-0573 | "none, ok as is." |
| S2-0574 | "Increase reception reliablity in Southern New Jersey. Especially WWVB. My Oregon Scientific """"Time Machine"""" clock is rarely able to synchronize itself to your beacon." |
| S2-0575 | Improve service during yearly time changes improve accuracy for dsl connections. |
| S2-0576 | "WWVB, to get reliable clock settings of my time clocks anywhere in the USA day or night time." |
| S2-0577 | Audio quality of propagation info -- often difficult to understand the lady who does the broadcast after 0000 hrs UTC. Either educate her on how to speak clearly into the Mic or get someone who can do so. |
| S2-0578 | Added feature |
| S2-0579 | I cannot think of any present service which needs improvement |
| S2-0580 | None needed for my use. |
| S2-0581 | "For the services we use every thing is correct and in good working order, exception made of the inherent reception problems due to time of day, frequency used and season. " |
| S2-0582 | You folks are doing great for casual home use. Thanks!!! |
| S2-0583 | takes too long |
| S2-0584 | "None, the services provided are very adaquate." |
| S2-0585 | i am very happy the way you are doing it nown |
| S2-0586 | "upgrade your server so that it can handle larger volumes of people trying to access the NIST time and freq web page; that way, people would always be able to see the real-time clock that counts down" |
| S2-0587 | "Improved treansmitter power on 10,15, and 20 MHz." |
| S2-0588 | none |
| S2-0589 | For law enforcement applications WWV is presently providing excellent service. |
| S2-0590 | Meets my needs just fine as is. |
| S2-0591 | "Loading the Java clock to a Mac powered Netscape browser can be unreliable, particularly on noisy phone lines." |
| S2-0592 | WWV and WWVH: Please broadcast solar flux. Also A and K index and geomagnetic information every 10 minutes. |
| S2-0593 | whatr would i do witghout knowing EXACT time and propagation indicators i get form WWV?? |
| S2-0594 | I would like to receive a stronger signal with a very short antenna |
| S2-0595 | I am not a user with heavy demands. Present service is great to me. |
| S2-0596 | The Pacific has no useful WWVB sig. How about a 60 kHz sig. from WWVH? |
| S2-0597 | Accuracy of space wx forcasts in correlation to realtime HF radio propagation. |
| S2-0598 | "More output power for the transmitter, due to poor reception" |
| S2-0599 | None |
| S2-0600 | Keep it like it is--all of your sevices are quite valuable in their own right--I can't think of anything that needs improvement. |
| S2-0601 | No improvements necessary as everything is working just great. |
| S2-0602 | Keep up the good work. |
| S2-0603 | "The website--- Its SOOO ugly! Use some of those federal $$$ to get a web designer in there. Besides looking atrocious, it should also use cookies to remember my time zone." |
| S2-0604 | A little more output power might be nice for more reliable reception. |
| S2-0605 | WWV and WWVH signal strength. |
| S2-0606 | Present service seems adequate for my use. Need continued 10Mhz coverage for calibrating frequency standards in HF transmitting/receiving equipment. |
| S2-0607 | "Increased power at 5, 10, & 15 MHz" |
| S2-0608 | Really just an aspect of distance from Boulder/Ft. Collins to Colo Spgs... too long for groundwave and too short for skywave |
| S2-0609 | none |
| S2-0610 | Coverage |
| S2-0611 | I am very with the system as it is. |
| S2-0612 | It would be nice to see the WWVB signal on the east and west coasts. Keep it free. |
| S2-0613 | I would like to be able to see the current times (or at least the # of hours ahead/behind) major world cities are). |
| S2-0614 | "I can't download the program anymore that automatically updates my computer clock with the correct time. Also, I can never see the Java-enabled animation." |
| S2-0615 | "Audio on the geomagnetic alerts is sometimes hard to copy, especially under weak signal conditions. Processing the audio to compress the dynamic range might help." |
| S2-0616 | None - Excellent job! |
| S2-0617 | "since daily solar flux doesn't correlate too well with what the ionosphere is doing on that day, I'd like to see a measurement that better corrleates - I realize this isn't an easy task!" |
| S2-0618 | NISTIME should run in the system tray instead of taking up space on the taskbar. |
| S2-0619 | All ok. |

| S2-0722 | none |
| S2-0723 | "Another useful feature would be a location/timezone indicator (ie enter city/state/country, get back the time zone and current time for it) This is especially useful in cases where a state or country is divided into multiple timezones." |
| S2-0724 | web page: some systems restrict ability to downlad and execute java aplets: need certification of website even if it is a dot-gov! |
| S2-0725 | I believe you guys are doing great. |
| S2-0726 | "Snapshop reporting is useless. The previous, continuous reporting was much more helpful" |

| S2-0737 | "While between jobs in my profession (actuarial) field, I have subbed in 32 schools in the Buffalo(NY) school system. I was stunned by how different the clocks worked in each school. Some master clocks were several minutes off the REAL time." |
| S2-0738 | better worldwide shortwave reception |
| S2-0739 | Need a web page generally available that explains the various internet-related services & how to use them |
| S2-0740 | This service is the most nearly perfect system this side of heaven. Doesn't need fixing. |
| S2-0741 | web page is slow |
| S2-0742 | NET CONGESTION is all I have seen all 6 times I tried to see the time on your web site. Not too impressive! |

| S2-0778 | "fine as is, please continue." |
| S2-0779 | satisfied with all of them i use |
| S2-0780 | We take an houly sample of time to keep our server as close to being on time as possible. It would be nice if the software would let us sample time more often. |
| S2-0781 | Would it be an idea to add other time zones outside the USA? |
| S2-0782 | "automatically update my computer clock, better reception for my clock at home which uses radio signal from Colorado (don't know frequency, etc - you should change the questions in the survey)" |

| S2-0790 | "It's hard to receive the 2.5MHz, but that is my antenna. I think the service is fie." |
| S2-0791 | Internet time needs more POPs so network latency is reduced. Also better accuracy. |
| S2-0792 | Insufficient time to read all data due limited 45 second transmission time constraint. Often clipped during maritime weather data for North Atlantic. |
| S2-0793 | "It would be good to add a new freq for WWV near 10Mhz, or Move 10MHz. There is so much computer hash on 10MHz in our area, picking a non-std freq (vis a vis digital equip) would improve reception." |
| S2-0794 | More guidance on choosing internet time servers for non-guru users <grin>. |
| S2-0795 | The reliability of getting an answer and not a busy signal. |
| S2-0796 | "Increase 2.5 MHz, 5.0 MHz, 10.0 MHz and 15.0 MHz signal levels. In the metropolitian areas have the FCC eliminate interfering operations that disrupt these services." |

| S2-0800 | JUST FOUND THE SITE RECENTLY - EXCELLENT SERVICE |
| S2-0801 | just coverage |
| S2-0802 | "Coverage area seems to be """"spotty"""" if I'm traveling" |
| S2-0803 | "Woth a dedicated Internet connection, I have more difficulty setting my digital watch" |
| S2-0804 | "Expanded Geo Alert Information such as x-ray flux, also provide twice an hour." |
| S2-0805 | excellent and useful service -- thanks for your effort. |
| S2-0806 | Stability and coverage area |
| S2-0807 | "OFten one of the time servers seems to be down and I have to use another one. It might be useful to have a generic internet address and this would route to the first server found, or alternatively list all the time servers, and their health (up/iffy/down)" |
| S2-0808 | "East Coast reception often difficult to useless, esp. in and around Boston." |
| S2-0809 | NA |
| S2-0810 | Fine service as is!! |
| S2-0811 | "I have a clock that automatically sets itself from WWVB. In Eastern VA, sometimes it takes 1-2 days to pick up change to DST, 2-3 days for complete reset if clock has been restarted." |
| S2-0812 | "I like it just fine the way it is. It does all I want it to do, which is give me the correct time." |
| S2-0813 | "60 kHz not always """"there""""" |
| S2-0814 | "Internet time: I usually see """"Net Congestion"""" and am not able get the time data I seek." |
| S2-0815 | Reception reliability--- higher frequencies need more coverage in northwest Illinois |
| S2-0816 | Reception in Oregon sometimes marginal on HF freqs |
| S2-0817 | this is my first time so can't say. I have book marked the site and will visit it in the future. If I have any suggestions I take the survey again. David |

| S2-0829 | "MOST OF THE TIEM THERE IS NET CONGESTION, SO THE SERVICE DOES HELP ME AT ALL." |
| S2-0830 | "I use services just to set my clocks accurately. Service works great--I see no need for improvement of the www.time.gov website. I would reccomend is to increase awareness--I stumbled upon the site by accident, but find it very useful." |
| S2-0831 | Never can view the time due to net congestion. |
| S2-0832 | The server is a little slow responding at times |

| S2-0856 | none |
| S2-0857 | The Web service should offer a form that will give the user a cookie for their time zone. The cookie would make the time display come up first instead of the select time zone graphic. |

| S2-0864 | I like it just the way it is. Suits my needs perfectly. |
| S2-0865 | i think it would be neat if users had a option to change their computers time (clock) to the offical nist time. |
| S2-0866 | how can one improve upon perfaction! |
| S2-0867 | WWV better reception |
| S2-0868 | None. I like the website and is serves my needs |
| S2-0869 | Locate and stop Spanish-speaking users of the 10.00000MHz frequency who are calling each other. |
| S2-0870 | the webpage provides quick time checks; it would be nice if there was a mechanism to get directly to a US timezone without going through the top page (I saved the link once only to have it change format) |
| S2-0871 | power level on 10 and 15MHz should be higher for better reception. |

| S2-0882 | None |
| S2-0883 | "At this time, I'm very satisfied with NIST Short wave radio transmission. No improvement necessary." |
| S2-0884 | "WWVB should have better reception in urban areas, NYC, so that my watches have less difficulty getting a signal. Maybe this needs more power or simply some slave transmitters." |
| S2-0885 | I like what it does |
| S2-0886 | "The 60KHZ service has poor coverage/reliability in the New York Metro area, probably owing to the electrical density in the area." |
| S2-0887 | "I love the WWV voice transmissions! Not only are they useful, but the sound can be """"hypnotic"""" (sp?) at times!!" |
