I am an amateur radio operator (62 years), and I have accurate 1 PPS and 10 MHz
available. I also coordinate emergency communications for this very large county.
I use WWV:
To judge propagation during normal and other than normal times
To set clocks after a power outage
To calibrate relatively new amateur radio transceivers (not Collins)
To set my computer clock to better than 1/10 second for FT8 digital mode and
when I was recovering faint asteroids that were in danger of being lost
It is easy to set clocks within 1/10 second while watching the digital display
and listening to the WWV/WWVH tics. I tend to get the wrong second when I use a
GPS clock.
Best,
Joe Hobart
