WWVH Kauai, Hawaii - 1988

[@patton303]

This dude is scary smart. He's dumbing it down a little because he's being modest.

[@SuEnRoD]

We used portable cesium beam time standards in the USAF back in the early to mid 80's to re-insert time into a SLFCS (Survivable Low Frequency Communications System) so it could keep synced up with the transmitters. It was one of the Comm systems for the Titan II missile complex's around Wichita Kansas. Cool video!!

3:00 the racks that contain Jane look like they are just telephone equipment racks.

I talked to this guy in around 1991. I requested information because I picked up WWVH while I was in the northeast. He was very excited to know that the signal had gone that far. He sent me a large envelope with a booklet about the station and a lot of other interesting information about the National Bureau of Standards.

I'm amazed anyone could pick it up in the US with Fort Collins on the same frequency! cool.

@Asher Gus 🤦‍♂️

[@candace6637]

Thanks! I used to tune into WWV and/or WWVH while "op checking" aircraft HF radios. It actually never dawned on me that the woman on WWVH was the same one I heard on the phone (Jane Barbe)!

[@CannaCJ]

How cool. I can't help but imagine that this was the best day of the videographer's year.

[@QUIZFILTER]

Wow thank you so much for this! Very cool to see the inner workings of a piece of technological history & my childhood nostalgia... love it!!!

[@setxbubba9641]

OMG...look at the ATC cart machines!!!!!

[@meechmushrooms]

This is cool! Wow, 1988... It has updated technology now, I think. Still, thanks for this tour! It's as if you knew in '88 that you would someday upload this to KZbin! Lol :)

[@mandolinsara]

Thank you for sharing!

[@tpobrienjr]

Note the dial telephone on the console in the transmitter room.

[@kimjong-un4411]

I heard it too

[@HamRadioLiveShow]

I’d love to use this on my KZbin podcast that teaches ham radio as well as broadcast radio. We have many shortwave viewers that watch the show. This would be a fantastic look back. I’ll make sure to credit your channel and put a link to it in the description section. Larry de K7HN

Can they make time go backwards? I'd like to undo some bad decisions.

[@heinzgronau]

I am still waiting for the time signal to reach my atomic wrist watch in Kailua Oahu. Please boost the power !!!

[@RonaldVaughan]

LOL!!!!

[@mariostar13]

You don't get signals out in those areas.

[@stargazer7644]

That time signal for your watch is coming from WWVB in Fort Collins Colorado.

[@stdorn]

I haven't seen cart type tapes in several decades. Very cool I have never seen a drum recorder like that.

[@roachtoasties]

I was expecting to see a radio station studio with a D.J. announcing the time every minute. By the way, do you happen to know what time it is? :/
