sorry for the spelling. is wwv ending am broadcasting?
It would be difficult to provide standard reference frequencies without an AM carrier. So it seems unlikely.
There was a discussion of discontinuing funding for it back in Aug 2019 but they reversed the decision for now.

NIST proposed budget includes shutdown of WWV and WWVH
Only thing that I wonder is it all WWV/WWVH transmitters or just some bands? Let's hope this does not come to fruition. https://swling.com/blog/2018/08/nist-fy2019-budget-includes-request-to-shutdown-wwv-and-wwvh/

like everything else now, it's going to be done on Zoom.
I'd like to know why you think that!? It's not like there's dozens of people there...

I'll support the elimination of WWV, WWVH, and WWVB, if and only if NIST fully eliminates their ridiculous police department and their Federal law enforcement function.
Why NIST feels the need to have a SWAT team with machineguns and arrest powers is beyond me [I worked as a cop and as a Federal 1811 for several decades].

For the non-believers, yes, there is a NIST PD. Here's an example of one of their employee's handiwork:

Talk about mission creep!
NIST police officer who cooked meth in workplace sentenced - WTOP News
Christopher Bartley initially told officials that he was trying to refill a butane lighter when it exploded. Bartley later admitted he'd lied.

that story is all kinds of weird....a silent fire alarm? sounds like this "lab" has had problems prior to this one...For the non-believers, yes, there is a NIST PD. Here's an example of one of their employee's handiwork:

when even the judge can't keep from referencing a TV show, said show has fully penetrated the zeitgeist.
refilling my lighter...mmmhmmmm
the way to solve this is for a mandate to full conversion to metric, that'll give the NIST SWAT something to do.
BREAKING NEWS: NIST SWAT engaged in stand-off with a Non-Standard Extremist Group.

I caught WWV on 25 Mhz about a week ago. They had discontinued that frequency over 20 years ago, but it started showing up on and off within the last 2 years. The best part is that it is receivable on a scanner
and when you're not near a general coverage receiver, this is kinda fun!!!!!

GlobalNorth,
of course they need cops. someone tried to make meth there.

That is very cool! Another way to listen to WWV is to use someone else's radio on the web. Note that because of audio buffering, the audio is delayed by several seconds.and when you're not near a general coverage receiver, this is kinda fun!!!!!

The link you included does not work.
The site in the link above is temporarily down. Try this one.

The main http://www.kiwisdr.com/ website has additional KiwiSDR receivers.
Thanks it worked this time. My old FRG-7700 (Yaesu) is on the blink.
I remember when NIST was NBS and was in washington dc before they moved to G Burg. Dad worked their for about hmmm 47 yrs before he retired. Also I remember when NBS moved to G burg and I270 was a 2 lane highway as well. More then once my dad and Marty who worked with dad in his lab where he had an small anechoic chamber in his lab as well. Does anyone here ever been to building 233 sound? or knows about the huge room inside a room that is on springs and you walk on a wire-mesh floor? or the person who got locked in that room at night before their was a phone installed to prevent that from happening again??I have sooo many memories and stories i could tell about NBS in G Burg

You can also get WWV over the phone. (303) 499-7111 for WWV (Colorado), and (808) 335-4363 for WWVH (Hawaii).

Telephone Time-of-Day Service
The audio portions of the WWV and WWVH broadcasts can also be heard by telephone.
Yep i remember.. i saw that card a few times in my dads lab at NBS..
