For those living in the continental US who, for whatever reason, don’t have access to an NTP server or a GPS device, the next best way to make sure the correct time is known is with the WWVB radio ...

Buried on page 25 of the 2019 budget proposal for the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), under the heading “Fundamental Measurement, Quantum Science, and Measurement Dissemination” ...

Every night, while millions of Americans are fast asleep, clocks and wristwatches across the country wake up and lock on to a radio signal beamed from the base of the Rocky Mountains. The signal ...

NIST radio station WWVB(AM) is trying to improve its signal penetration. The station near Fort Collins, Colo. continuously broadcasts time and frequency signals at 60 kHz. The carrier frequency ...

The project utilizes a PIC16F628 microcontroller in order to create radio controlled clock that originates from NIST Radio Station WWVB that broadcasts on a frequency of 60kHz. The project utilizes a ...

The wristwatches and clocks that advertise accurate “atomic time” rely on the 60 kHz signal from WWVB in Boulder Colo. to synchronize them to official U.S. time. In the days of analog TV, some ...

President Donald Trump’s administration wants to shut down U.S. government radio stations that announce official time, a service in operation since World War II. WWV and WWVB in the state of Colorado ...

The National Institute of Standards and Technology is considering setting up a U.S. East Coast low-frequency radio station broadcasting NIST time in binary code format to complement the present NIST ...

Yes, that is not a mistake. It is 60 kiloHertz not 60 MHz or 60 GHz. There actually is wireless activity at that frequency—at least in the U.S. Specifically, the time standard station WWVB, located ...
