Shortwave Time Signals - Where have they gone?

Why not make that 'reliable' station WWV to start with? WWV at 10.000000 MHz has been my station since 1957 and even though the NBS has changed it's name to NIST, WWV remains untouched. Propagation delay is on the order of 1000/183,000 miles per second so that leaves about 5 milliseconds of error here in the sates. What's the big deal? Bill Baka |
