Have you no compassion? Sooner or later, half the "TRUMP" crime family
will be in prison. But what of the other half? They will find
themselves TOTALLY unprepared for a non-grifter lifestyle. Should all of
them also be "eliminated"?

The need for the continuation of WWV now becomes obvious. Give the non-
convicted members of the "TRUMP" crime family a small device with a
button marked "TIME". Tell them that their new "workfare" job is that at
least ONE member of the "TRUMP" crime family MUST press the TIME button
at EXACTLY the top of each of minute EVERY day. Tell them their button
is directly connected to the WWV and WWVH shortwave transmitters and the
entire world DEPENDS on them for the CORRECT TIME.

Of course, the TIME button would be a "TRUMP"ian idiotic lie, the kind of
"TRUMP"ian idiotic lie that simple minded people believe when said with
absolute conviction.

Make no mistake, there is no room for stupid or incompetent or corrupt
official timekeeping in America. But the button would help these people
believe that, for the first time, they were actually making a
contribution to the betterment of other people's lives.

I don't think that's going to work.

I found a small book at a used book sale a few years ago, maybe titled
"Chronograph". It was about the need time in order to navigate. One of
them, longitude or latitude, required accurate time, and ships didn't have
that. Hence an effort to create a very accurate clock, which was also
portable.

WWV meant you didn't need that accurate clock, just a shortwave radio to
let you know when to check the stars or sun.

I think you may mean "Longitude", which tells the story of how, in 1761, John Harrison invented the first chronometer that was capable of meeting the Royal Navy's challenge. It is a book and a movie available on DVD. Four of his clocks are on display at the museum of the Naval Observatory Greenwich, and three of them are kept running.

According to my first WRTH, the US Naval station, NSS, was supposed to be
broadcasting time signals. My morse skills were, and are, nonexistent
but I was able to ID NSS. Didn't hear anything which sounded like any
signals which coordinated with WWV. Might have been obsolete info by
then.

WWV used to be coordinated with the US Naval Observatory in Annapolis.
Atomic clocks got better than observatories and that was that for that.

www.ancient.eu/Timekeeping ...There is a great big ancient Sundial in India. Earth is gradually slowing down so that great big ancient Sundial in India is now about two seconds slow.
