WWV has been broadcasting an outdated propagation report for several days,
giving the solar flux as of September 18 and K Index as of 1200 on September
19. THIS MAY BE A TEST TO SEE IF ANYONE IS LISTENING, and if not, they’ll shut
it down.
We’ve had similar tests from other SW services prior to shutting down – for
example, Radio Australia a couple years ago went off the air briefly, allegedly
for xmtr maintenance; the response from listeners wasn’t strong enough, and
they used that as evidence to shut down permanently.
The NIST website gives an email address of:
[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Does anyone
have other addresses for them?
