     The Radio Controlled Time does not set. Be patient. Wait at least one week before contacting Ambient Weather. The RCC is a shortwave signal originating near Fort Collins, Colorado, and travels thousands of miles by bouncing off the ionosphere. The signal is better at night due to solar interference during the daytime.
