Many thanks to SWLing Post contributor, Tom Kelly, who shares the following:
I recently read your article concerning the proposed shutdown of the NIST stations WWV/WWVH.
To that end, I have gone ahead and created a Whitehouse petition to see if this decision can be reversed:
https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/maintain-funding-nist-stations-wwv-wwvh
Would there be any way you could perhaps post the link to this so that fellow members of the SWLing Post could sign it? I believe the more folks we have sign the better chance we have of maintaining the radio stations we have all come to rely upon.
Thanks, Tom, for launching this petition–I had planned to do so this morning and am thankful you beat me to it.
SWLing Post readers: please take a moment to sign this petition. It requires only a few seconds to complete and you need only to submit your name and email address. This is an official petition instrument of the White House and, as such, can actually lead to a response and potential review. Please spread the word throughout your radio communities!
Please spread the word!
