Up to 8 hours each day. 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. Michael 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. Michael |
