WWVB RADIO CONTROLLED TIME
The NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology)
radio station is located in Ft. Collins Colorado. It transmits
an exact time signal continuously throughout the continental
United States at 60 KHz frequency. The Atomic Clock
can receive this WWVB signal through its internal antenna
from up to 2,000 miles away. Due to the nature of the Earth’s
ionosphere, reception can be limited during the daylight hours.
The radio controlled clock will search for an alternate station
that derives its signal from the NIST Atomic clock in Boulder,
Colorado.
