eno2001's Journal: NOSTALGIA: Who Remembers WWV From When They Were a Kid?

Ahh the good old days. I remember many a summer vacation from school when evening would hit and just after dinner but slightly before prime time TV, I'd head up to my room with a refreshment and tune in WWV from Fort Collins, Colorado on my short wave set. The sweet sounds of the atomic clock along with geophysical alerts especially during the summer, and of course the voice of WWV announcing the time near the top of each minute. I used to sit transfixed listening to the beautiful perfection of each evenly spaced click and tone waiting to hear what would come next. Listening to it made me feel like what I wanted to be when I grew up: a 1950s sci-fi movie scientist. A boffin. Does anyone else here have similar recollections? Surely I can't be alone, can I?
