Many readers know that I’m a bit of a WWV<\/a> geek, so you can imagine how happy I was when my buddy, Mike, and the Southgate ARC<\/a> made me aware of this 152 page history<\/a> of the NIST time station family.

I have already sent this to my Kindle Fire and look forward to reading it (at least, starting it) tonight.\u00a0Click here to download the NIST time station history as a PDF.<\/a><\/p>\n
