I heard that even if they stop transmitting the signals, the "Atomic Clock" will keep running and maintained.

Here is a thought.  What would be the legality, if Amateur Radio was to go there, Make a Club, Call it the "WWV Club" or whatever.

And more or less take the same audio that WWV used to transmit. And make a beacon using it on every ham band?

It could be used as a Propagation beacon, yet also informative too.

Legal?

Isn't WWVB the station used to sync the clocks and such? I may be wrong.

Is this the well known "Washington Monument Ploy"?
