Post Readers:<\/strong> <\/em>please keep in mind that the NIST 2019 Presidential Budget<\/a> request includes a desired reduction of, \u201c$6.3 million supporting fundamental measurement dissemination, including the shutdown of NIST radio stations in Colorado and Hawaii.\u201c<\/p>\n

This would equate to the closure of WWV, WWVH and<\/em> WWVB.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Unless enough people protest this budget proposal, these sites will be closed.<\/p>\n

If you value these services, I would encourage you to contact your local representatives<\/strong>,<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0sign this White House petition<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
