Folks, 

Apologies, I meant this to go to Topband, 
not here, though the message about WWV on 
the chopping block applies here as well. 

There is less than a month for the online 
petition to the White House to have the 
needed number of signatures. Here is the 
link for the official petition. The 
tinyurl is to the same link in case the 
email client mungs the full link & puts it 
in two separate lines.

Again, my apologies for cross posting.

73,
