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.
That was Jane Barbe at WWVH. Nearly ALL Bell System recordings used her sweet voice. She passed in 2003.
