[Nodxa] [amsat-bb] Fw: Please reply to this survey if you would like WWV to remain on the air

[Bob Liddy (K8BL)]

 Ted,
WTF?  All I did was FORWARD the info about the Survey!
HOW do you get"gaming" out of FORWARDING the Survey?
My suggestion was that people could go directly to the providedlink INSTEAD of listening to WWV and writing down the SAMEinfo that WWV speaks over the air. DUH!!!!!! It's the SAME INFO!!!
There is NO FAKE INFO!  There is NO SKEWING!  There is justa SURVEY.  You either supply your info or you don't.
If I were to be "ashamed" of anything, it would be for having to answeran IDIOTIC message from YOU!!!  Please try engaging your brainbefore sending out stupid e-mails and displaying your ignorance.
de  Bob K8BL
P.S.  Maybe you should send one of your idiotic e-mails to Paul English   WD8DBY "Chief of Army MARS" who sent out the Survey Link in   the first place!!

So, Bob, you are suggesting your fellow hams 'game' the survey and lie about the questions on the survey? Really?

The questions in the survey are clearly written in wording designed to elicit responses from someone who actually received the broadcast in real time. (they are essentially asking for a signal report).

To suggest your fellow hams SKEW the results by providing 'FAKE INFORMATION' is not in the best tradition of amateur radio. You should be ashamed.

 This message was forwarded by, I believe, Frank W3LPL, to alert everyone
about the the WWV Survey being taken to provide info for decision-makersabout the continued need for the existence of WWV. It would be a terribleloss for us all if WWV went away merely to save $$$ in some bureaucrat'sbudget. Please submit the survey on the link below ASAP and forward thisto as many Hams as possible before the dates listed . You can use the link forthe survey rather than listening directly to WWV.TNX/73,    Bob  K8BL

Subject: DOD Broadcast and Listener Survey on WWV and WWVH

>From 14-24 August, WWV and WWVH will be broadcasting a DOD message at 10 mins past the hour on WWV and 50 mins past the hour on WWVH. As part of the message, all listeners are asked to take a listener survey at the URL specified in the message.

http://www.dodmars.org/home/wwv-survey


The results of this survey are shared with WWV/H personnel to show their NIST chain of command how often their stations are monitored and how the various timing signals and messages are used by the listeners.

Please take a listen to this message and take the survey...as the saying goes, "every vote counts" and your input to this survey is being used to help demonstrate the importance of these stations.

Thanks for your consideration in this effort.

Paul English, WD8DBY
Chief, Army MARS
