"At The Tone......." (RE: WWV)

["Peter Q. George" <radiojunkie3@yahoo.com>]

    Personally, I still depend on the services of
Radio Station WWV and WWVH, daily.  I still use these
great stations for calibration of my receivers and
test gear. There is still some comfort to know that
these stations are always available 24 hours a day.  I
still set my clocks to WWV/WWVH on a regular basis.  
    Co-incidentally, I have a website specially
dedicated to the Time and Frequency Services of NIST,
particularly with WWV and WWVH.  Also, there is a lot
of historical material regarding these two stations. 
The website ("At The Tone....the B side") is available
at http://listen.to/wwv or @
http://www.geocities.com/radiojunkie3.  Stop by and
drop me a line if you wish!  73!
