Space Weather Prediction Center to continue WWV and WWVH broadcasts

In April 2011, the Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC) informed the
public that as of September 6, 2011, it would no longer broadcast its
geophysical alert message on WWV and WWVH.

The ARRL has now learned that the SWPC has changed its mind and will
keep broadcasting these messages that inform listeners of the solar
flux, the mid-latitude A and K indices and space weather storms, both
current and predicted.

Due to listener feedback, the SWPC is considering updating the
broadcast; in addition to providing the current daily solar flux at
2800 MHz, the SWPC is evaluating adding more frequent observations at
2695 MHz.

According to the SWPC website, other improvements to the message
content will also be evaluated.
