| What new time and frequency service would you find useful? (Please explain briefly) | |
| S3-0001 | time and frequency. |
| S3-0002 | none |
| S3-0003 | "More carrier time, without modulation, would be nice for those of us who use WWV as a frequency standard." |
| S3-0004 | "HF propagation data, e.g. solar activity" |
| S3-0005 | You're doing a great job. Wish my income taxes were spent as wisely elsewhere in the government! |
| S3-0006 | A local possibly VHF service (maybe combined with the NWS NOAA broadcasts would be helpful to provide access to more people with modest consumer equipment. |
| S3-0007 | "include TAI time stamp, or set up a freq for TAI time broadcast." |
| S3-0008 | The new EAS system (Emergency Alert System) should be rolled on via your HF as it would allow wide-area alerting.. |
| S3-0009 | NIST-traceable time/date information on TV broadcasts using EIA-608 Extended Data Services; the present service on some PBS stations is so inaccurate as to be useless |
| S3-0010 | A 5 minute period each hour of pure carrier for zero beating . |
| S3-0011 | "2meter, 6 meter , 70cm and above simplex access." |
| S3-0012 | Have announcements made at least twice each hour so that you don't have to wait so long to receive them |
| S3-0013 | Retaining what we have would be nice!!! |
| S3-0014 | "Offset WWV and WWVH freqs so that one can do a comparison of the two signal strengths. Right now, both overlap and WWVH masks WWV. " |
| S3-0015 | none |
| S3-0016 | seea above |
| S3-0017 | extended 440 tone time |
| S3-0018 | Satisfied with present information. |
| S3-0019 | Boardcasts that better cover the most southern states |
| S3-0020 | transitt times of selected astronomical events |
| S3-0021 | Can't think of any. |
| S3-0022 | "something between the standards. i.e., 7.5 mhz for those times that 10 or 5 or 12.5 when 10 and 15 are not useable." |
| S3-0023 | more information about sun spot activity. |
| S3-0024 | Its great as it is. |
| S3-0025 | The system is fine the way it is! |
| S3-0026 | Excellent as is. |
| S3-0027 | "PSAs reminding people you exist! You are excellent as you are right now, please do not change a thing! Sincerely, N8DXR" |
| S3-0028 | "I would like you to give the propagation information on WWV more often than once an hour - maybe at 10, 25, 40 and 55 minutes after. " |
| S3-0029 | expanded services for WWV controled clocks possibly? |
| S3-0030 | WWVH on 20 MHz to check propagation and MUF |
| S3-0031 | None |
| S3-0032 | none |
| S3-0033 | moer frequent propagation broadcasts |
| S3-0034 | "Perhaps a frequency using single sideband would be good idea. A single sideband transmission could possibly lower noise, fading, and interference levels." |
| S3-0035 | "I would like to see you send a longer tone occasionally. I also would like a 440 Hz tone broadcast so I can calibrate my """"A"""" on instrument tuners." |

| S3-0044 | Maxium Usable Frequency |
| S3-0045 | Information concerning services available. I will start accessing the Webpage. |
| S3-0046 | None that I can think of except for perhaps more frequent geo updates |
| S3-0047 | Information presently provided is adequate |
| S3-0048 | GPS is lacking in U.S. related time functions like DST. A robust radio transmission is needed for the DST bit. A sronger singal for WWVB would be good for the new clocks that use this signal. |
| S3-0049 | Propagation. A more detailed summary. |
| S3-0050 | No need for any. |
| S3-0051 | Nothing I can think of now. |

| S3-0066 | I would like to see a place on the web to retrieve the solar activity reports. I would like to see www.nist.gov be easier to navigate. Make user and other access seperate. |
| S3-0067 | "I am satisfied with both WWV audio and WWVB signaling as long as signals get through. Also satisfied with auto-connect/correct through direct internet connections and """"about time"""" automated time tweaks." |
| S3-0068 | free software for computers |
| S3-0069 | "Auto Update of all clocks from your signals. In Florida, power goes off frequently, I mainly depend on a WWV alarm clock to get accurate information. More synchronization with Ham transmitters on time and freq. (Positive & automatic info.) " |

| S3-0105 | "PDA, pager, cell phone direct" |
| S3-0106 | None |
| S3-0107 | "None, I strongly believe that WWV is doing a great job! Please do not cut back on current service." |
| S3-0108 | Primary use is accurate time for celestial navigation. Secondary use is as an indicator of HF propagation. |
| S3-0109 | none at this time |
| S3-0110 | "A propagation beacon say at 50 MHz, stepped power from 0.1 to 10 watts might be suited" |
| S3-0111 | "More NTP server daemons available, worldwide; since network-based time references are becoming even more required in even more remote locations." |
| S3-0112 | Internet summary of all current alerts and announcements |
| S3-0113 | n/a |

| S3-0118 | Status Quo is good. |
| S3-0119 | "periodic (say 15 seconds,4 times an hour) of carrier only transmission (no ticks or modulation of any type" |
| S3-0120 | I no doubt would use Internet time reference if I knew how to access it. |

| S3-0130 | utc time for shortwave |
| S3-0131 | information on other radio frequency time broadcasts in other countries that could be used reliably to get time and propagation information and information on the daylight time shifts for various regions |
| S3-0132 | I think it would be quite useful if the Colorado station could also broadcast at 1.780 Mhz. It would be closer to the 160 Meter band than 2.5Mhz and give a better idea on band conditions. |
| S3-0133 | Existing services are adequate for our needs. |
| S3-0134 | 25 mHz helpfull for prop studies and use of second harmonic for 50 mHz purposes |

| S3-0150 | "Severe Storm warnings on land. ie.-- Tornados, flash floods. etc. " |
| S3-0151 | 20Mhz service for WWVH. What ever happen to the WWVH station on Maui? You could use this site for 60Khz and for 20Mhz antennas covering upper North Pacific and down towards Austrailia/New Zealand and towards the Pacific Northwest. |
| S3-0152 | A longwave voice service would be useful as a frequency standard to check longwave receivers. I would suggest a standard frequency of 200kHz or 300kHz. This would also be useful for checking ADF receivers. |

| S3-0163 | I would like to hear standard time transmissions at 30MHz and near 50MHz. |
| S3-0164 | anything resembling a GPS time backup - 0.1 uSec accuracy desired (really like the WWVB concept so far) |
| S3-0165 | Announcement of time on half minute to reduce listening time. |
| S3-0166 | None that I can think of. |
| S3-0167 | PSK time encoded signals. This would provide a calibration standard for digital communications systems. |

| S3-0187 | "Again, add eastern United States transmitter for coverage of the Eastern United Staees[where the greatest concentration of population exists]. " |
| S3-0188 | A specified time for carrier with no modulation for atleast 15 minutes a week on WWVB for setting local standard using simple techniques. measurements earlier this year. |
| S3-0189 | I would like a 20MHz. signal from Hawaii. Also a 25Mhz. signal from Co. & Hi. would be helpful for checking propagation conditions. |
| S3-0190 | currently addresses my needs |
| S3-0191 | I can't think of any right now. |
| S3-0192 | A networked time signal (pulse and/or time code) which could synchronize several Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) E911 centers in a given area. |
