Antenna question

What kind of antenna is used for WWWVB? How high are the used masts?

Problem with receivers in 2012

My understanding is that there was a problem exposed by a change in modulation in 2012. http://ka7oei.blogspot.com/2013/02/did-nist-break-bunch-of-radio.html 174.25.57.105 (talk) 00:10, 17 November 2016 (UTC)

Closing soon?

There is an article Time running out on atomic-clock station in Fort Collins claiming that "The National Institute for Standards & Technology based in Boulder may close its time-signal radio station in Fort Collins [...] as part of agency-wide proposed budget cuts". There is a similar article at NPR.

Trump has proposed to cut the budget of the NIST from $954 million to $629 million.

Is it too early to mention that on this page?
