from NIST.GOV:
NOTICE OF SCHEDULED BROADCAST OUTAGE:
Due to an electrical upgrade, Radio Station WWV will be off the air on
all frequencies on February 21 and 22, 2017. The outages will occur
between 7:00 AM and 5:00 PM Mountain Standard Time, and will not exceed
8 hours duration each day.
I've got too much politics on the brain. I was SURE the notice said:
NOTICE OF SCHEDULED BROADCAST OUTRAGE
The guy who sits in the box telling the time 24hours a day, 7 days a week
for all these years is finally tired of it all. So they are really giving
him a two day vacation, the first since WWV moved to Colorado over fifty
years ago.

Slacker. He should be ashamed. The woman at WWVH does the time
announcements 24/7 AND finds time between the announcements to do phone
company announcements and she's also giving me directions on my GPS.
I wsa thinking after I posted that this is a good time to receive WWVH.
Though I remember, back when I spent more time listening to WWV, that WWVH
would come in fairly regularly. SInce the voice was female, and the voice
announcement was at a different time, you could hear it, and know it was
WWVH because it wsa a female announcer. The rest lined up really well, so
you didn't get a heterodyne, or double ticks.
For those who need their standard time fix tomorrow and Wednesday, CHU
keeps on ticking, though the odd frequencies made it less useful for
adjusting a crystal calibrator.
