VASC is the official visitor center for NASA\u2019s Langley, Virginia, facility. The KE4ZXW display station was shut down on March 13. It was to be out of the VASC by June 30. A main feature of the exhibit was the ability to communicate with amateur radio satellites and with the International Space Station.<\/p>\n<p>Randy Grigg, WB4KZI, of the VASC Amateur Radio Group said the station\u2019s equipment would be relocated. \u201cThanks to all who have supported KE4ZXW during the last 25 years, especially the volunteer operators who manned the station during that time,\u201d Grigg said. \u201cTo the many visitors we have met and school groups that have stopped by and talked with us about ham radio, communications, satellites, and STEM Program related subjects, thank you!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On June 30, it was announced that the Virginia Tech Amateur Radio Association (K4KDJ) in Blacksburg will be the new host for the KE4ZXW Amateur Radio Demonstration. \u2014 Thanks to Randy Grigg, WB4KZI, and Ed Gibbs, KW4GF[<a href=\"http:\/\/www.arrl.org\/news\/virginia-air-space-center-ends-relationship-with-ham-radio\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">&#8230;<\/a>]<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.radioworld.com\/global\/why-wwv-and-wwvh-still-matter\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Why WWV and WWVH Still Matter (Radio World)<\/a><\/h3>\n<blockquote><p>Last year was one of both celebration and uncertainty for WWV, the station adjacent to Fort Collins, Colo., that transmits automated time broadcasts on the shortwave bands.<\/p>\n<p>On the plus side, it marked the 100th year of WWV\u2019s call letters, making the site, operated by the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nist.gov\/\">National Institute of Standards and Technology<\/a>, one of the world\u2019s oldest continually operating radio stations.<\/p>\n<p>On the negative side, WWV and its sister time station WWVH in Hawaii nearly missed this centennial. That\u2019s because NIST\u2019s original 2019 budget called for shutting down the pair, along with WWVB, the longwave code station co-located next to WWV, as a cost-saving move.<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, these cuts never happened, and WWV, WWVH and WWVB seem likely to keep broadcasting the most accurate time from NIST\u2019s atomic clocks, at least for the immediate future.
