CQ NEWS (From the CQ Newsroom): Petition (Two) Drive to Save WWV/WWVH ­
Sept. 15 Deadline — The National Institute of Standards and Technology
(NIST) has eliminated funding for the continued operation of time/frequency
standard stations WWV and WWVH in its Fiscal Year 2019 budget.
  Tens of thousands of radio amateurs and other users of the shortwave
spectrum rely on these stations as sources of accurate time and precise
frequency measurement, as well as a wealth of propagation data. (WWVB,
on 60 kHz, which provides time data for so-called “atomic clocks,” would
continue to be funded.)
  Two petitions have been started on the White House’s “We the People”
petition site calling for restoration of funding for these two essential
radio stations. Each needs at least 100,000 electronic signatures by
mid-September to generate a response from the White House.
  The petitions can be found at:
  (As of now, it needs just over 90,000 more signatures by September 15)
  (As of now, it needs over 98,000 more signatures by September 17)
  CQ urges its readers and friends ­ and anyone else who finds value in
the continued operation of WWV and WWVH ­ to sign one or both petitions
and to contact your representatives in Congress to explain the need for
these stations to continue to operate. Congress has the last word on the
federal budget and can modify department proposals as it sees fit.

  REALTIME BAND CONDITIONS WEB SITE <http://www.bandconditions.com>:
  The purpose of this experimental Web site is to provide 24-7-365 actual
  (REALTIME) band condition information to CW QRPp, QRPe and CW/SSB for
  Contesters interested in increasing their scores. It can also be of
  benefit to other Radio Amateurs to determine band conditions for Nets
  and casual QSO’s. This information is NOT based on any software pre-
  dictions or any kind of satellite based readings. It is based on a
  new Ionospheric sounding method called “HF Ionospheric Interferometry”
  which operates very similarly to the PolSAR system used by NASA.
