The advantage of a radio-controlled clock that receives the time signal from WWVB is that you never have to set it again. Whether it’s a little digital job on your desk, or some big analog wall clock ...

OK, I purchased one of those inexpensive 8 dollar GPS devices. I wanted my own, local, accurate time. I am not quite getting that. The particular devices is the ublox-7. It looks like a thumb drive ...

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 ...

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 ...

National Institute of Standards and Technology radio station WWVB(AM), near Fort Collins, Colo., is conducting another phase-modulated broadcast test beginning at 11 a.m. Pacific on Tuesday, Sept. 4.

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 ...
