hey, you're right!  I hadn't noticed that (I normally tune in to WWV
at 18 minutes past the hour for the propagation bulletins or just at
any odd hour to reset my watch every so often, so I don't hear the
station id at the top of the hour very often).  but since I read the
above a few minutes before the top of the hour......

heard just now on WWV:

      At the tone, 19 hours, 0 minutes, Coordinated Universal Time.
      [beep]
      National Institute of Standards and Technology Time, this is
      radio station WWV, Ft. Collins, CO, broadcasting on
      internationally allocated standard carrier frequencies of
      2.5, 5, 10,15, and 20 MHz [.....]

see above info.  WWV is NIST, ex-NBS, not Navy.  they might be
co-located with the Naval Observatory, if it just happens to be located
in Ft. Collins, CO, with an alternate location in Hawaii (WWVH, which is
sometimes much easier to receive than WWV, depending on propagation).
