ABOUT WWVB (Radio Controlled Time)
The NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology—Time and Frequency
Division) WWVB radio station is located in Ft. Collins, Colorado, and transmits the
exact time and date signal continuously throughout the United States at 60 kHz. The
signal can be received up to 2,000 miles away through the internal antenna in the
Weather Station. However, due to the nature of the Earth's Ionosphere, reception is
very limited during daylight hours. The Weather Station will search for a signal
every night when reception is best. The WWVB radio station derives its signal from
the NIST Atomic clock in Boulder, Colorado. A team of atomic physicists is
continually measuring every second, of every day, to an accuracy of ten billionths of
a second per day.
measuring a second as 9,192,631,770 vibrations of a Cesium-133 atom in a vacuum.
