Also was on shortwave.

"WWV" popped into my thoughts when I remembered that. Haven't had a shortwave radio for 40 years now.

Yup. By telephone and synchronous broadcast (the internet tells me) out of Ft. Collins, CO. Also had weather.

(Got the shortwave to practice listening to Russian, not so much of that to be heard.)
