+AD4 think I must have listened to it for hours when I was a kid. This is
+AD4 probably more vital today, as the shortwave broadcast stations disappear,
+AD4 less to listen to on shortwave. Though in the digital age, no need for a

+AD4 and are generally close enough in accuracy.

What's weird is that WWV restarted their 25 Mhz transmissions as a service to radio hobbyists and even put up a circularly polarized antenna. This is not an expensive operation. It's something of a national resource like a National Park.

I'll bet WWV would be a Vital National Interest if it was in blue state Kansas rather than red state Colorado+ACE

Au contraire. Scientists and engineers claim to depend on NIST to help produce quantitatively verifiable results. Eliminating WWV and other standards will make it easier to propagate alternative facts that conform to Trumpian ideology.

Again, I'm dismayed by the IGNORANCE of one Donald J. +ACI-TRUMP+ACI. He wants to turn back the clock? HE HAS THE CLOCK AND DOESN'T EVEN KNOW IT+ACEAIQ The TRUE +ACI-TRUMP+ACI-ian solution is to appoint Sarah Sanders as head of NIST, move WWV back to Maryland and start broadcasting time signals starting with August 6, 1945+ACE MAGA+ACEAIQ-

Local control, back to the days before the railroads imposed time zones on the country, and when some floors of an office building would observe Daylight Saving Time and others would stay on Standard Time! In this world of alternative facts, truth isn't truth.

The most accurate time came from Sundials and the Stars.

Until very accurate clocks were developed. Then people noticed that sundial time bobbled around over the year by about +-/- 15 minutes. So they averaged out the sun time to come up with +ACI-mean+ACI time.

I'd vote for The Magnificent +ACI-TRUMP+ACI if he's BAN Daylight Shifting Time. That's assuming The Great Man does a Eugene V. Debs.

Once the light bulb finally goes on and The Great Man kicks the libtards out of the National Bureau of Standards, ALL measurements may be re-envisioned by +ACI-TRUMP+ACI-nocchio. For example, the +ACI-FREEDOM YARD+ACI would be the longest distance between the middle finger of his tiny right hand and the tip of his nose.
