Voice of America and Radio Marti shutdown.

There was an attempt to shut the NIST stations down years ago that failed. But today, every thing you list is better done with an under $200 GPSDO. But legacy equipment still needs WWVB on 60 kHz. If WWV/WWVH were converted to being used for propagation forecasting, they might have a more useful purpose.

Problem with GPS is that it’s being jammed over in Europe, and I don’t doubt that the same will happen here before long:

Russia accused of jamming GPS navigation

Experts say Russia has been jamming GPS signals in certain European regions, leading to disruption for civilian aircraft.

It‘s always good to have an alternate in case the primary becomes unreliable.

And WWV does do propagation reports, at 18 minutes past the hour.

Then someone needs to tell Motorola to stop using LTE 700 800 and UHF and everyone go back to Low Band and VHF.

GPS jamming from ground to ground is very limited in range. (The real problem is GPS jamming ground to air or Air to Ground. Neither is likely to be a problem for most of us.) And WWV accuracy is far less that any GPSDO.

Who determines “truthful”?

Exactly.

Here's the real rub: The Feds have NO BUSINESS printing, publishing or speaking the news! That's reserved for sht hole countries like Russia, China, Iran et al...

And for the record, the BBC as well as MANY other publications are just a rag! Read Sig...
