WWV Shutting Down? 1925

Screenshot 2025-06-04 1.46.31 PMOne hundred years ago this month, this item appeared in the June 1925 issue of QST. There were apparently rumblings that the Government was going to pull the plug on WWV, and the magazine encouraged readers to contact the Bureau of Standards  and let them know how vital the service was.

The plea was apparently successful, as WWV remains on the air a century later.  We previously talked about their move to Colorado  in 1966 and their status in 1953.
