alpha_station-1 wrote: For those that wondered of these 2 stations let me give a few pointers here. WWV is located in FT Collins Colorado & WWVH is in Hawaii. Both broadcasting UTC time. There are many reasons why we have em. because there are ham radio, SWR listeners. Almost two years after the OP but... WWV has a male voice and WWVH has a female voice. One very important use for time standards is in navigation. Navigation by dead reckoning demands an accurate chronometer. Chronometers can be set using time information. "But, but, but... What about GPS?" GPS has outages and a hand held GPS might go overboard. Good navigation is a must. Miss Hawaii by a few miles and you will have to go to Alaska to hit land... There are more than just WWV and WWVH. JJY is on the same freqs. but hosted by Japan. Many other governments host a time standard and on other than 2.5, 5, 10, and 15 mHz. |

I think that the four towers in the foreground are holding up the WWVB capacity hat and vertical radiator. The entire WWV complex is completely unmarked. I'll bet that many of the locals don't even know what it is. Attachment: DSCF0191.jpg [ 183.07 KiB | Viewed 6227 times ] |
