To make this happen, “WWV broadcasts continuously on six shortwave frequencies: 2.5, 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25 MHz,” said Glenn Nelson, an electronics technician at WWV and WWVB. “WWV has 11 operational HF ...

The world’s oldest licensed radio station, which operates from a location just north of Fort Collins, will turn 100 years old on Oct. 1. That may sound like a long time for a radio station, but ...

Radio was in its infancy in 1919. Licensing of the first commercial station was a year away. WWV’s early work focused on experimentation with transmitters and signals, according to Nelson’s ...

WWV has been a frequency standard since 1922 and has disseminated official U.S. time since 1944. All of the NIST stations rely on extremely precise atomic clocks for the accuracy of their time ...

I regularly use the 5 and 10 MHz signals to calibrate time bases in my spectrum analyzer, signal generators, receivers and frequency counters. It is a time-proven technique to zero-beat their ...

SIMON: WWV is the oldest continuously operating radio station in the United States. It's been on the air since 1920. It's signal provides a frequency standard for receivers.

Hourly measurements of the field of WWV on 5, 10, 15 and 20 Mc/s have been made at Tatsfield over the greater part of the day for the last six months of 1953, and these have been analysed. The ...
